Hi does anyone know how the fixed cost value is actually arrived at?
Both for countries and enterprises.
thanks |

All I noticed, is that brand new Corporations have zero fixed cost, and seem to be the best thing ever.
But after a time (or a couple of times) brand new Corporations do get fixed costs just like everyone else. |

And I just noticed something really silly.
When you issue new stock, your fixed costs dramatically go up. I have a failing corporation I am trying to keep alive - and the only way I can put money into it is issue new stock and buy the stock. I can't transfer money direct, because I do not own every share of its stock, and I can't play games with pricing since I am a cheap "free" player and must use best price on everything.
But the share issuing extravaganza really is going to backfire, as all I have done is drive my fixed cost from around 148M a month to 1353M a month - so I will go broke that much faster!! Whyinhell recapitalizing by issuing more stock to your major share holder should cause your fixed costs to skyrocket makes no sense to me. Where do these fixed costs go anyway? (Bain Capital??)
Look at "Virgin C3 Internet" in the country of "The United Kingdom of Misoto" and you can see this in the graph on fixed costs. |

Hmm, actually the fixed cost explosion in this company looks like it started earlier than my share expansion, so I am not sure what is going on here.
Nothing good - that is clear! |

Until you have the coporation fully staffed, it is difficult to assess what is going on.
You may be experiencing higher costs due to substantially under-staffing the corporation on a long-term basis.
If you fully-staff the corporation then you can get a clear idea of profitability. |

What fixed cost are you talking about? Fixed Property cost? The more people you have working at your company the lower the fixed property cost, the less and more understaffed it is the more it will be. |

Fixed property cost increases with upgrades. The more upgraded a corporation is, the more it pays in fixed property cost. Also, all country controlled corporations pay A LOT MORE than enterprise owned ones.
I am going to guess that your fixed cost in that company suddenly spiked because you nationalized a corporation that used to be private. |

all state companies will pay 1. something B fixed cost in the end
If your a free player go 0 tax and get others to run your business
also tell us your country name so we can move there
don't play with the taxes and don't play with the no CEOS and you will have 6 six good banging corps that make money |
