Annual profitability index |
Based on the scientific and technical basis of the Institute (IGES) it is possible to create a production group of 10-12 employees. Therefore, under sufficient conditions for production the team annually can successfully produce 10 devices. According to preliminary calculation (salary – USD 48.000, electrical circuits and required construction details acquisition – USD 18.000, overhead costs of IGES - USD 9.000) for 10 devices production USD 75.000 amount will be sufficient. The cost will be USD 7.500 per device, in the case of realization of all products (1 device may cost 9.500 (the cost of foreign analogues ranges from USD 12.000 to USD 17.000) USD 95.000 amount will be paid back. At the end of the first year the profit will be USD 20.000 |
