<p>I'm struggling to find a macroeconomic index which embodies the cost to run an average production plan. </p>

<p>My problem is that I wanted to divide the annual average cost per employee (which I already found to be <code>gross income per capita</code>) with the cost of running an average asset (e.g rent, energy and other expenses). </p>

I'm struggling to find a macroeconomic index which embodies the cost to run an average production plan.

My problem is that I wanted to divide the annual average cost per employee (which I already found to be `gross income per capita`) with the cost of running an average asset (e.g rent, energy and other expenses).

Did such an index exists?
