breadPerHour = (60 * 60) / T
depositsPerHour = breadPerHour / A
secondsSpentDepositingPerHour = depositsPerHour * R
goldPerHour = ((60 * 60) - secondsSpentDepositingPerHour) / T
So, given these variables
T = 2
A = 5000
R = 60
The profit margin is
breadPerHour = (2 * 60 * 60) = 7200
depositsPerHour = 7200 / 5000 = 1.44
secondsSpentDepositingPerHour = 1.44 * 60 = 86.4
goldPerHour = ((60 * 60) - 86.4) / 2 = 1756.8
Nearly 1757 gold per hour if you can cap 2.5 backpacks of bread, and walk reasonably fast. Potentially great to run on multiple characters on the new PvP servers, as there is much less risk to die, you need no supplies to restart, and you can run potentially infinite chars at once.
