Bakery: Increase in Prices

[GroovyRuss]

if you bake twice you will make 4540 twice I'm confused

In real life this happens to companies all the time and is one of the top reasons why
many companies go out of business. You only make 4540 twice if you sell twice.
If inventory is growing because you can't sell fast enough, you will have negative cash flow.

In our case in BS our main option is to stop baking until you sell off the food.

BUT THIS IS A BAKING GAME

No, I could factor it in just didn't feel it would make much difference. Considering the mastery levels are:

Level 1 = 8 - gets $1,000 or $2,000.
Level 2 = 23 - gets first gem.
Leve 3 = 43 - gets $2,000 or $4,000.
Level 4 = 83 - completely master the recipe and get the last gem.

Multiply any of those by the cost to cook and then look at the reward you get when completing those levels, and I'm not quite sure it's worth it. Is it $1,000 & $3,000 or $2,000 & $4,000 for level 1 & 3? I can't remember but I know it's one of those 2 sets of numbers.

Sorry, I probably made things more confusing, but let me make it easier.

Watermelon Juice cooked 8 times to get mastery of level 1 would be:
Cost = $24,800
Income = $41,600
Profit = $16,800
Cash Flow = - $8,000
Reward = $1,000 or $2,000 can't recall and don't plan on baking to find out.
New Cash Flow = - $7,000 or - $6,000 (depending on what the reward really is.)

How many people actually saw the prices drop last night? Lin's explanation above looks like a good explanation for the numbers 88dalejr saw. I wonder if there was a glitch afterall....

I sure didn't. I think we had some wishful thinking. But seriously, it's TL we're talking about. 100+ pages of fury hasn't phased them one bit.

What do you mean by "Cash Flow " here? I don't understand where the $8,000 figure comes from...

My egg tarts went back to $4225 cost to bake I'm in iPad

You are confusing the yield (number of plates per recipe cooked) with the actual cost of making the recipe. The yield has a small "x" in front of it and the cost is at the top, in larger yellow letters, and with a small coin to the left of the number.

The profit you make minus the cost to bake the recipe again = cash flow.

Math sucks.

I think this is what she means:


It costs $3100 to bake this recipe... When all servings are sold, you'll receive $5200 in revenue. Profit on that "bake and sale" is $2100.

But it will cost you $3100 to turn around and bake that same recipe again, which lowers your cash flow by $1000. So even if you earned a profit, it is not enough profit to chain bake this recipe. This is why they are saying negative cash flow. The negative cash flow if you cooked 8 of them at the same time, would be $8000. In other words, your balance will go down by $8000 after baking and selling this recipe 8 times (or $1000 negative if you just bake and sell once).
