【結構分析】

該句是主從複合句，從句是if引導的`條件狀語從句If experiments are planned and carried out according to plan as faithfully as the reports in the science journals indicate，主句是then it is perfectly logical for management to expect research to produce results measurable in dollars and cents，其中it為形式主語，真正的主語為後面的to do不定式，measurable in dollars and cents意為“可以用金錢來衡量”，放在results的後面做後置定語。

【參考譯文】

假如科學實驗像科學雜誌登載的科學報告顯示的那樣如實地按事先的計劃去規劃和實施，那麼，對管理層來説，期待研究能夠產生可以用金錢衡量的結果是完全合理的。
