1. What will I produce and sell?
Assumption: All saleable production is sold at the indicated selling price.
2. How much does one batch cost?
Variable costs — these increase when you produce more
3. NFIC Facility Cost
The fixed/shared cost of using NFIC
- use of NFIC machinery / shared facility
- electricity, fuel and water
- machine-operator cost
You do not need to separately add electricity or machine-operator cost.
4. Will I make a profit?
5. How many batches do I need to sell?
You should produce and sell at least 2 batches per month to cover your costs.
Every additional batch sold after this adds approximately ₹15,220 before any other unforeseen expenses.
6. What happens if I produce more?
More batches sold → the fixed/shared NFIC cost gets spread over more production → monthly profit improves.
7. How much money do I need before starting?
Why is ₹1.42 lakh needed for day-to-day business?
Raw material, ingredients, packaging and other expenses have to be paid before all the money from customers comes back.
