 Speaker financing           
 -------------------          
                                        
 As stated above, the initial
budget AC will be formed at the expense of members
new associations.  That is, the first months
the work of the structure will be "accumulative"
telny" character. When will the budget AC be
sufficient to get started with basic
branches, funds will be sent to
according to:                          
                                        
 - "Iron department" - 30%          
 - "P/O" - 50%          
 - "Social and general department" - 20%          
                                        
 As can be seen from the numbers, priority (in
in any case, at the beginning of work AC) there will be
be manufacturer support department
software.  This will allow
to somewhat “spice up” life on the platform,
and will also provide an opportunity for relatively
quickly multiply the budgetAC.              
                                        
 After completion of the organizational work
bots (improving the work of all three departments
lov) financing will be provided
due to the following:                     
                                        
 - membership fees;                   
 - sales of software;                       
                                        
After developing the updated computer
tera (priority area of work
"hardware department"), budget will beby-
to be replenished through its sale.        
                                        
 Membership fee             
 ----------------           
                                        
 The size of the membership fee will be final
clearly defined only after
the number of potential participants will become known
cthukob structures.                      
                                        
 For some it may seem that
somehow it’s unfair to pay for membership in
AC, for both programs and hardware 100% price
well. However, as stated above, the size
the contribution will not be too large. And the cost-
the possibility, for example, of a license for a game will be
disproportionately larger. For example, in AC
costs 50 people and each contributes 5
hryvnia (roughly - 25 Russian rubles)
monthly contribution. Therefore, the budget
AC is 250 UAH. - not even that
enough to buy a license to sell
games (by today's times - few,
less than a month's salary; when to write
playing the game takes a lot more time
me).So, we wait another month when
the budget will increase to 500 UAH. Let's say
that 400 UAH. (don't forget that there is also
postage) is enough to purchase for-
bad game.  And AC buys it and

structures.  However, we have forgotten that there is

who need attention and support.
This means that due to membership fees only
the matter will in no way move forward -
Xia.  After all, the accumulation of funds will be very
slow - promotion will require
how many years.                            
                                        
 Moreover, the membership fee is

associations.  By the way, about floppy disks. Since
5'25" are no longer produced, then exchange
information and programs with user-
lem will be carried out either on the media-
le user, or by e-mail.      
                                        
 Now let's return to the amount of the contribution. He
can be calculated using the following form-
le:                                     
 FR = (MB/KCH)+PR,                     
where ChV - the amount of the membership fee,      
 MB - minimum monthly budget
         (can be calculated as follows
         way: one average cost
         game program licenses
         (let's say 400 UAH)          
 KN - number of AC members,          
 PR - postage.              
                                        
 Let's imagine that KCh=100, postal
moves = 1.50 UAH. So CV = (400/100)+
1.50 =  5.50 UAH.  And these are even modest
estimates, since 100 people is the number
lo for Spectrum huge (almost
allACTIVEspectrum-population). Real-
new (at least at the beginning) number -
this is a figure of 50 people, which meansChVpossible
will melt andreaches the limit of 10 UAH. But
you can set a “ceiling” and average
payment up to size 8-8.50 UAH.(at expense PR,
since not everywhere you will have to send mail
tit so much).                          
                                        
 Therefore, the budget, given the quantity
members of the structure of 50 people will be
replenished monthly by 400-425 UAH.  
                                        
 About the cost of programs and licenses     
 ---------------------------------   
                                        
 Some stable formulas for dis-

so is the program.                         
                                        
 The formula is something like this:              
                                        
 SP = (FACE/KPP)*KB+PR                 
                                        
SP - program cost;           
 PERSON - license cost;            
 Checkpoint - number of potential noky-
         patels;                       
 KB - “safety factor”;     
 PR - postage.              
                                        
 Let me clarify a little what this is KB. So
as a potential buyer has not yet realized
the one who bought it starts, which means he can refuse
get rid of your intention to buy
program.  Therefore, we introduce this
coefficient that can slightly
"save the situation" in the event of such a "force"
major" situation. Let KB be equal to
five percent (KB=1.05).   So. For example, someone released super
cool game (Awaken:)). And, of course,
wanted more for her - for example,
1000 UAH. (about 5000 rubles):      
                                        
 FACE = 1000;                          
 Gearbox = 50 (well, everyone wanted it!);         
 KB = 1.05;                          
 PR = average. 1.50.                   
                                        
 SP = (1000/50)*1.05+1.50 = 22.50 UAH.
(about 120 rubles). And if gearbox will be
more, then, accordingly, the price increases
z down.  For example, if KPP=100, then
SP = (1000/100)*1.05+1.50 = 12 UAH. - in
1.8 times cheaper!                       
                                        
 Conclusion              
 ------------
