increased estimate
原文的口气,是进行一种保守的推算,即使把各个生产环节中由于各种原因导致的成本增加,这一因素也考虑进去,最后得出的产品利润仍是可以接受的。这里的放大估算,不是一种“贬义”的表达,只是一种保守,客观地考虑实际情况中可能出现的成本增加。 因此,用increase 这个中性词,而不用
“inflate/to enlarge or amplify unduly or improperly"
"magnify/To cause to appear greater or seem more important than is in fact the case"
"blow up/ Inflate”
这些带有“贬义“含义的,“吹大“”夸大”“放大”的用词。
原文中的“放大”,是一个中性的用词,用在一种保守客观地推算上,这种推算的目的,是保证在意想不到的额外成本增加底下,产品仍有利润。

走到坦桑尼亚,张春来忍不住结合当地的水泥价格算了一笔账,结果令他十分兴奋。坦国市场上水泥批发价每吨达160美元,如果从国内运水泥的半成品熟料来加工后销售,即便是各个环节成本都作放大估算,每吨水泥也有40美元的利润,差不多是国内市场的10倍。
*************************
就是说,即使建立在这样保守客观的估算上,中国的水泥半成品熟料经过在坦桑尼亚加工后销售,仍然有可观的利润---- “差不多是国内市场的10倍“。
这种保守客观,带来积极意义的估算,用“贬义”词来修饰这种估算,就不太妥当了。

or "overestimation"
