except that he's now also responsible for feeding n refugees at a food cost of y per day. (it looks like n in this case is 250)
Include also the cost of x beds, water, toilet facilities, general staff, operating costs of kitchen facilities, cutlery, dishwashers.
The profit on the difference between $10k and $460k is not $450k.
$460k / 30 days in a month = $15k per day.
$15k / 250 refugees & asylum seekers = $60 / refugee per day. (fed, watered, sheltered, & safe)
From the article, the profit is likely 3.5% of $460k or roughly $16k/month.
- Coding_Cat 11y agoNote also that Norway is, in general, an insanely expensive country so $60 gets you less than it would in most countries.
- gotchange 11y agoHe/She is paying wholesale not retail prices for the everyday household items.
- Coding_Cat 11y agoTrue, but those would most likely scale (but not perfectly) with the consumer price. Higher tariffs and transportation costs for example.
- gotchange 11y agoIt's $75/day/refugee just for food, water, utilities and other misc. expenses. I doubt that he/she is running this facility as a 5 star hotel to charge this high from like $30/day/refugee to the rate above.
- vidarh 11y agoIf he could profitably charge $75/day and run it as a 5 star hotel in Norway, he should run a hotel as he'd be wildly successful if he could offer what would be bargain basement prices compared to his competition.
