==== Lord Falkland's ledger ==== // based on the conversion proposal as currently listed on the wiki // Income ==== These calculations are done under the following assumptions: * || Base || 250 pounds|| || Investment 4 || 140 pounds|| || || || || Business 3 || ~64 pounds|| || Business 1 || ~16 pounds || Expenses || [[setting/Falkland_house]] || 35 pounds|| || [[setting/Silverton_estate]] || 60 pounds|| || [[Lord Falkland will probably have Investments 4, given that he has sat on wealth 4 for quite some time. * The WJAC branch in London will probably be a Large Business (3), once I ghoul the agent it will have a rating's staff]] || 217 pounds|| || [[setting/Coterie Club]] || 5 management. This should yield it an average of 2 successes. * The WJAC Orient Branch will probably be a Business (2), with a management rating of 4 (given the agent is not a ghoul). This should yield it a generous average of 2 successes. * I further assume no benefit points and an Economic Factor of 1. This would lead to the following Income: pounds|| Base || 100 poundsHorses || 8 pounds|| Investment 4 || 70 pounds[[setting/andrew_johnson]] || || Business 3 || 30 pounds|| || Business 2 || 16 pounds|| ^^ Total ^^ 216 pounds || ==== Agent ==== As my Agent, [[setting/andrew_johnson]], is entitled to a wage of 10 pounds per month. ==== Falkland House ==== Currently, Falkland House has an Estate rating of 3. In the new system it will have the following components: * Living Component x2 * Receiving Component * Dining Component * Stables Component * Security Component This would cost me 30 pounds per month. For the components I'll need the following staff: (8+1 male staff) and (8+1 female staff) || 1 Boy || 1 Girl[[setting/mr_william_neish_esq]] || 10 pounds || 2 footman || 4 maids || || 1 driver, 1 first footman, 2 guards || 1 head housemaid || || 1 valet || 1 cook, 1 ladies maid || || 1 Butler || 1 Housekeeper || The wages amount to a total of 77 pounds per month. Resulting in a total cost per month of 107 for this Estate. ==== Summary ==== To summarise my income and expenses would look something like: || Income || 216 pounds|| || Agent || -10 pounds|| || Falkland House || -30 pounds|| || Staff || -77 pounds|| ^^ Free to spend ^^ 99 pounds || || Silverton Estate || -55 pounds|| || Staff || -180 pounds|| ^^ Free to spend ^^ -136 pounds || note: Given that my Income currently sits at 2000 per month this seems a steep drop in spendable income. Roughly a 100 pounds spendable per month also seems rather low if one wants to keep a proper social etiquette and attend a ball or two in while (assuming the prices of clothing and jewelry don't change too much). It would also mean that with current costs, maintaining a second large estate isn't feasible given the cost for components and additional wages. Adding the Silverton Estate (see below) would currently result in an expected monthly income of -136 pounds. ==== Silverton Estate ==== Since this estate is outside of London and is primarily used during the summer, the additional costs for this estate mainly lie in the maintenance for the components and the additional staff needed to manage them. Since it is an Estate rating 4, the layout is probably something like: * Living Component x3 * Receiving Component * Dining Component * Stables Component x2 * Security Component * Garden Component; * (probably) Ballroom This would have a component cost of 55 pounds per month (assuming full pay even when not used). This would also require me to get at least 10 more more staff, included an underbutler and underhousekeeper to manage the Estate, the additional wage bill is expected to be a further 50 pound per month. Meaning this estate would cost me an (estimated) additional 120 pounds per month. Which currently I cannot afford based the income calculated above. **note**: I also assume I can **share** the staff from Falkland to meet the requirements for this estate. If treated as a separate estate for the staff as well, this estate would cost a further 120 pounds. || Silverton || -55 pounds|| || additional staff || -77 pounds|| ^^ Free to spend ^^ -33 pounds || || without sharing staff || -120 pounds|| ^^ Free to spend ^^ -153 pounds ||345 pounds estimated LTS: 135 pounds
