Why the Shaolin Recommended Price Will Bankrupt Your Food Business

Day 750, 18:38 • Published in North Korea North Korea • by The Desk of Dear Leader

Real quick:

Shaolin recommended Q1 Food price: 0.89 KPW (0.88 KPW before VAT)
Net profit per skill level based off of job offers from the State Food company and using their Q4 grain import price (0.63 KPW per Q1 unit):

Skill (90 Wellness) : (Units Produced * Price (before VAT) = Income) - (Wage + Raw Material Costs) = Result
7 : ((29.7 * 0.88 = 26.14) - (17 + (29.7 * 0.63 = 18.71) = 35.71) = Loss of 9.57 KPW per day
6 : ((25.2 * 0.88 = 22.1😎 - (15 + (25.2 * 0.63 = 15.8😎 = 30.8😎 = Loss of 8.70 KPW per day
5 : ((21 * 0.88 = 18.45) - (15 + (21 * 0.63 = 13.23) = 28.23) = Loss of 9.81 KPW per day
4 : ((16.8 * 0.88 = 14.7😎 - (12 + (16.8 * 0.63 = 10.5😎 = 22.5😎 = Loss of 7.80 KPW per day
3 : ((12.6 * 0.88 = 11.09) - (10 + (12.6 * 0.63 = 7.94) = 17.94) = Loss of 6.85 KPW per day
2 : State does not provide Skill 2 jobs, but in general they are unprofitable until about 2.5.
1 : State does not provide Skill 1 jobs, but in general they are unprofitable.
0 : State does not provide Skill 0 jobs, but in general they are very unprofitable.

Lower quality companies generally should use lower skilled employees (3's and 4's), so if a Q1 food company were to follow the Shaolin model with 5 Skill 3 and 5 Skill 4 workers, they would wind up losing 73.24 KPW per day (or 0.81 Gold per day).

So by following the state recommended food price and buying grain from the state import, someone operating their own food company would go out of business within a week.

First they drive out the legitimate citizens, then they drive out the businesses. Soon North Korea will be dead.
