[QUOTE="joetama, post: 2645656, member: 564641"] Ok, let me make you look like an idiot again.... First off, if your sales are not profitable then you are not going to be a very good business man and have a very terrible business plan. You are certainly right about not making a profit on the first subs you sell, but we are talking about AVERAGES. You are averaging $93 per sub. Oh and if you can’t sell your products then you are not building the correct products. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif[/IMG] Fi, has plenty of products to sell and I’m pretty sure sells everything that they make, like most companies do, if you have an overstock it is usually the distributors problem. IE, company ‘A’ builds a transistor it sells to a stock house ‘B’ for $1. If the stock house ‘B’ doesn’t sell it at its normal $5 MSRP then they sell it for maybe $3. BUT, the manufacture still gets $1. Also, my example company has factored in expenses such as loans and things they are just not labeled that way, and you are choosing to be ignorant about not seeing them to fit your one sided thinking. Also, if you take out a loan and are losing money you are not charging enough in the first place OR your bank is taking you for a ride. So if your loan causes you to raise prices it is not an effect of growth, but of general bad planning. Anyway, I acquired this new facility both through money saved and money loaned, this company didn’t open on Jan 1st and buy a new building on Jan 3rd so I has had a chance for it to grow and save some money. The expense of the money owed from the debt is factored into the over all expense of the building as in the machines just like in the first building and first two machines. Also, Health plans for employees are factored into what they get paid. If you want me to outline an entire business plan for you I can, but not going to burn my time schooling an ignorant bloke who thinks he knows more than me. Also, hasn't Fi come out with new subs?
