No, I'm calculating the liquid worth of Lazarus - which I'm doing with Excel anyway.
So far, I've only included some really basic stuff, like the income amount of the network (based on Google's Adsense revenue model) and some products. Its all up in the air and pretty healthy at the moment, even if I undo the million rule (which basically every company in the SARP follows) because I spent time studying the business models of the worlds most successful companies.
I've factored in the manufacturing costs of the products but I still need to go back and add Research and Development and support costs, which I'm still working out how to calculate.
Keep in mind, while the numbers SEEM gigantic, most of the money (about 45% of it) is being poured into R&D - as a canocial way of explaining HOW Lazarus affords the research they actually do.
I have to say though:
this is surprisingly fun.
The manufacturing lease thing (which I do whenever I sell something) is like a 1% profit but none of the manufacturing costs -- basically identical to Microsoft's software business model and it allows organizations to get carried away and produce things in bulk.
If the proportion of profits to costs (in the case of manufacturing costs) is ideal (with the proportion of profits high to the manufacturing costs) even IF the profits are very slim, the investment is really small so you can make huge amounts of money.
PHEW!
