the calculation

What do you think about it?
IT IS THE EXAMPLE.

AT THE BEGINNING I AM EXPLAINING THAT SG = COUNTRY COIN.

1. THE LOWEST PRICE OF D O G F O O D ON THE MARKET IS EQUALL 1,311.64 SG.
2. TO MAKING 1 DOG FOOD YOU NEED 3 x SOYBEAN AND 2 X POTATOES.
3. I FOUND THE PRODUCTS ON THE MARKET IN QUANTITIES 100 POTATOES FOR 93.10 SG AND 50 SOYBEANS FOR 125.00 SG.
4. I AM CHECKING WHAT IS MORE PROFIT – BUYING THE CROPS OR READY FOOD.
5. THE CALCULATION IS LIKE:

• DOG FOOD – 1,311.64 SG
• SOYBEAN – 1 x 125.00 SG = 125.00 SG

50 x 125.00 SG = 6,250.00 SG (the price of buying this products on the market)
3 x 125.00 SG = 375.00 SG (how many these products I need to use for 1 feed)​

• POTATOES – 1 x 93.10 SG = 93.10 SG

100 x 93.10 SG = 9,310.00 SG
2 x 93.10 SG = 186.20 SG

6. I AM ADDING THE BOUGHT PRODUCTS TOGETHER FOR 1 FEED.

375.00 SG + 186.20 SG = 516.20 SG​

7. NEXT THE PRICE OF FOOD ON THE MARKET – THE COSTS OF BUYING

PRODUCTS = PROFIT OF CROPS
1,311.64 SG – 516.20 SG = 795.44 SG​

AS YOU CAN SEE THE COSTS OF BUYING IS LOWER THAN PROFIT. IT IS THE GOOD NEWS. SO I DECIDED FOR TO BUY THE CROPS.​

8. I CAN CALCULATE THE COST OF SHOPPING.

I AM ADDING THE BOUGHT CROPS TOGETHER.
6,250.00 SG + 9,310.00 SG = 15,560.00 SG​

9. I AM CALCULATING THAT FOR SOYBEAN:

16 x FOOD x (3 x 125 SG) = 16 F X 375 = 6,000.00 SG​

I PAID FOR THE CROPS 6,250.00 SG TOTAL.
6,250.00 SG – 6,000.00 SG = 250 SG (profit for buying more crops)​

10. IT LEFTS 2 SOYBEANS BECAUSE 16 x 3 = 48. I BOUGHT 50. I AM

PUTTING MINIMUM PRICE FOR CROPS 125.00 SG OR HIGHER.​

11. I AM CALCULATING NOW THAT FOR POTATOES:

16 F x (2 x 93.10 SG) = 16 F x 186.20 SG = 2,979.20 SG​

12. I PAID FOR THE CROPS 9,310.00 SG TOTAL.

9,310.00 SG – 2,979.20 SG = 6,330.80 SG (profit for crops)​

13. IT LEFTS 68 POTATOES BECAUSE 16 x 2 = 32. I BOUGHT 100. I AM
PUTTING MINIMUM PRICE FOR CROPS 93.10 SG OR HIGHER.

14. I AM CALCULATING MY PRICE ON THE MARKET OF THE 1 FEED.

THE COST OF SHOPPING FOR 1 FEED:​

THE COSTS OF TOTAL SHOPPING – LEFTS CROPS = THE COST OF SHOPPING FOR FOOD TOTAL
15,560.00 SG – (2 x 125.00) [- soybean] – (68 x 93.10) [- potatoes] = 8,979.20 SG​

15. I DIVIDE THE PRICE FOR THE ITEMS.

8,979.20 SG / 16 quantities = 561.20 SG (IT IS THE PRICE FOR 1 FEED)​

16. THE MIN. PRICE ON THE MARKET OF 1 FEED – 1,311.64 SG.

1,311.64 SG x 16 (quantities) = 20,986.24 SG​

17. I AM CALCULATING THE COSTS OF SELLING ON THE MARKET.

20,986.24 SG x 10% = 2,098.62 SG
20,986.24 SG + 2,098.62 SG = 23,084.86 SG
23,084.86 SG – 15,560.00 SG (the cost of total shopping) = 7,524.86 SG
7,524.86 SG / 16 items = 470.30 SG (the individual profit)
561.20 SG (the products together for 1 feed) + 470.30 SG (the individual profit) = 1,031.50 SG​

18. THE PRICE ON THE MARKET OF THE FOOD: 1,031.50 SG – 1,311.64
SG.


I AM SENDING THE GREETINGS TO YOU :-D

 

I'm sure this could be very helpful, but I think the layout is confusing (or perhaps this is just me). Maybe consider putting some spaces between each segment, or colour-coding the subheadings? Thanks for the work though!

 

I am a nitpicker, so I assume your SG, is another (language) abbreviation of Country Coins ? SG for me is supergrowth

 

exactly it is

 

If you want I can write the same in Polish for anyone

 

it is already done. If you see any needing changes, please let me know. Thank you.

 

I don't think this is very useful. This is quite a basic calculation which anyone could do, but the problem is that by itself it doesn't tell you what you should be making in your mill. For that you have to do the same calculation for each food, and take into account milling time. I did this for a few likely looking animal feeds a while ago and got a maximum net profit of 360,000 per hour for milling and selling Swan feed. But that's only for that time on my market, since prices change so rapidly and there are so many different markets. Then you've got to weigh that against making only Power-feed, all the time.

Power feed doesn't have a price because it's not sold directly. If you had access to the raw data of how likely skips were and how likely each type of free breeding animal is on Baby Boom day and if you have the breeding rune open, you could calculate a rough value. Rough because higher level animals aren't often available so setting a value for those is tricky, and you'd have to calculate the added value of using Power Feed to breed each type of breeding animal available. It's not really worth even trying to do.

My conclusion was that half-doing calculations about effective use of the mill gave no useful data, and fully doing them was difficult to impossible, and certainly too hard for a game which is supposed to be fun.

 

I appreciate your opinion. I play for fun too. But I thought why not learn something new too?
Everyone can decide of course about the using of this method or not. But it help me a lot to put the correct price roughly. I am open for any suggestions too. It is the author method (I am not sure is the right in the life but it is good in the game). It looks difficult but actually saying is very simple. We need just the practice. I put the comments for better understanding so please try it for any example and write to me about the result. Always we can delete the idea.
