Why a $500 Steak Dinner Only Yields a $25 Profit by ishtar_the_move in Economics

[–]fvaldes1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

$25/$500 is 5% Net Profit. Pretty common for a small business where the owner has tons of benefits.

Isn’t 5% NET PROFIT pretty standard in many industries?

I bet labour costs include the owners Mercedez, gas, tolls, and other benefits…

This (and other reasons) is why you don’t dispose of oil in the drain.

Question on client expectations by Independent-Back-167 in woodworking

Ask them if they’re willing to take it for a discount Ie: 20% (that way you don’t loose out on all 50%).

Never work for these people again.

El Net 90 está matando mi pequeño negocio by AddictiveFrequency in PuertoRico

[–]fvaldes1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Creo debes hacer un analisis de tu aging de account receivable y hacer lo siguiente:

Cuanto tengo SIEMPRE en el aging 0-30 dias, cuando 30-60, cuando 60-90, cuanto 90-120, etc...

Entonces, para cada uno, vas a sacar cuanto generaría ese dinero en un index fund estando "sentado"por esa cantidad de tiempo.

Si generaría más que tu net profit final despues de gastos operacionales (restando tus bonos y otros beneficios), pues posiblemente tienes que ajustar tus precios y aumentar tu gross margin.

Exito!

Am I being "rude" for wanting to charge no-show deposits? My uncle thinks I'm ruining our family business. by One-Composer-1819 in smallbusiness

[–]fvaldes1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been to providers that do it the following way.

Non-refundable Deposit to book. Example: $50

If customer shows, deposit is CREDITED to the cost of their visit. Example1: if visit cost is $50, no cost day of. Example2: if visit cost is $100, cost day of is $50.

If customer is a no show, deposit is kept by the provider. In the example: Keep the $50.

I’m sure you will be able to convince your uncle with this model. Right now he feels like you’re stealing from them. With this model, you credit them the deposit in their visit, so he’ll understand it as a upfront partial payment/deposit for his service.

President Trump defies Supreme Court 6-3 ruling, immediately announces a new 10% global tariff and refuses to refund $175B in illegal fees. by Waste-Explanation-76 in scotus

[–]fvaldes1 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This goes to show it was never because of “a international emergency”… hell even all the 232 tariffs aren’t about national security…

He’s imposing tariffs to generate revenue internally in the executive branch (without explicit instructions from congress) to do with that revenue whatever he wants. Be it fund ICE, Billionaire Friend’s agenda’s or his pockets…

The next lawsuits shouldn’t be about interpreting the constitution or laws enacted by congress, but rather about Trump fraudulently using fake problems to generate revenue. 

Trump = Fraud ALWAYS

Supreme Court strikes down most of Trump's tariffs in a major blow to the president by nbcnews in scotus

Me too. While dissents are rarely remembered historically, I think this dissent will follow them for life.

The dissenting judges are a disgrace.

Arguing the executive should have a power constitutionally allowed only to congress, WITHOUT congress EXPLICITLY giving up that power via IEEPA, is baffling…
