Ok.... How much does it cost to go public? (I'm already spending 6000g on something.... So it better not be two expensize )

Shaitan may have to double check my figures but I think it would cost 2000g to turn S&E into a public company. That's 6000g - 4000g (the start-up for the partnership.)

okay, regarding profits: in the spreadsheet, there is one entitled BANK. This account has over 300g, and it earns aproximatly this ammount every turn (the exact ammount differs turn to turn, new loans taken out, old ones repaid). This is the bank profits.
Also- how do I get to corparate status? I have stock, it has a thread and is used (daily-ish)

It can't possibly make anywhere near that amount per turn. There are not that many loans. In addition, the loans were not set up for interperiod dispersion. You can't take profit until the original principle has been paid off.

shaitan- my figures for income are based on the following:
1- Take the g/tc pay back of all loans.
2- Add them together. (Note- there are at least 6 people with loans and more apply daily)
3- If it is so that I can only collect profit when the loans are payed back, then we make around 1000g whenever a loan is repayed.

Only the interest on the loan is profit for the bank, not the entire loan itself. The principle of the loan is the money that you gave them in the first place. You're just getting it back.

As no loans were set up for increments you cannot take the interest income until the last payments of the loan, when the entire principle has been repaid. We can restructure the new loans to allow for increments so the bank gets income from interest each turn if you'd like, but we'll have to renegotiate the fee for running the loan office then.

Shaitan- Fee? Theres a fee? I thought this was one of your gratis moves....
Anyway, so basicly the bank dosent make any money until the loans are repaid in full. Give me until the S&E auctions are over, then ill pay for this. VHS left a nice paycheck to the bank when he *cough* retired. THIS (after S&E gets its share) is bank profit. So, in conclusion, Bank no money from loans until they are repaid, this could change and the tower will be funded of VHS debt money.

I doubt the auctions will cover it. However, while doing the item tabulation I discovered that his aka diabloinex has 10 catapults that also need to be liquidated. That might take it to the top.

Enough thread highjacking though. PM me if you have anything further. I'll clean all this garbage out of donsig's thread when I get the chance.

You can open the same type of business. No one is entitled to a monopoly.

Shaitan tends to dominate in the corperate market regardless... See: Octavian's Doughnut Advertizing vs. Boondoggle and Pork

I would like to upgrade the Fanatikan lottery Company to the the Fanatican Racing And Lottery Association (FRLA), which will be a public company.

Price list:
Lottery tickets 10g
Parimutual tickets for horse races 100g
Race horse registration fee 100g (maximum)
Entrance fee for horse race 1750g/horse (maximum)

Avg. price is 490g so the expense multiplier is 2. Public company multiplier is 3. Base start-up is 500g for this service company. Start-up is (500g*2*3)-original startup of 1000g=3000g-1000g=2000g.

I will pay this start-up cost.

The FRLA will issue 100 shares with a par value of 100g per share distributed as follows:

donsig: 60 shares
Octavian X: 10 shares
FRLA: 30 shares

We will have a registry of horses allowed to race . It will cost the owners up to 100g to register a horse. This gold will go into the purse fund. We will have a race every chat. Owners wanting to race must pay an entrance fee for each horse they enter. These fees will also go into the purse fund. The purse for each race will be distributed as follows: 60% to the owner of the winning horse, 25% to the owner of the second place horse, 10% to the owner of the third place horse and 5% to the owner of the fourth place horse.

We will take bets on the horses in each race. Bets will be in 100g increments. 15% of the bets will go into the purse fund. 25% will be the company's take. 60% will be returned to the bettors via a pari-mutual pool.

AP&N will post the order of finish in each race for 25g.

Lottery tickets will cost 10g per number chosen. The company's take of the lottery ticket sales will be 25%. 75% of ticket sales will be returned to the jackpot fund.Numbers range from 0 to 999. One winning number will be drawn per chat by AP&N for 10g. Purchasers of the winning number will share the drawing's stated jackpot.

The FRLA is approved.

donsig, you've erred in your startup costs. As your average charge is 100g you should be at a x1 price multiplier instead of a x2 multiplier. That makes your new startup 500*1*3 = 1500. Less the1000g original makes your upgrade cost 500g.

I thought my average charge was (10g + 100 g + 100g + 1750g)/4 = 1960g/4 = 490g. I expect some big stakes races in the future that's why I used the x2 multiplier.

 

[Shaitan]

My bad. I overlooked the 1750g entrance fee maximum. Your numbers are correct. Sorry for the confusion.
