The min value of the ODX contract is £50m, max is £374m. Already near 2 months down so can take off £374/24 = £31m off max value. Production will be scaled up over time, so max value will never be reached, most likely is somewhere around half that, so say £150m.
£125m of that will cover raw materials, then £5m for wages. Govt loaned equipment so allow another £2m for insurance. That leaves £18m. Delivery, packaging and setting up infrastructure another £3m, leaving £15m profit. Allow £10m for faulty tests, loss, theft, misdelivery etc, leaves £5m profit. Paying for extra office space, storage, security doesn't come cheap, so another £2m. We're now left with just £3m, Colin and his mates will want a bonus totalling £2m. Add an extra million in expenditure for pies and you're left at £0 profit. Pies can't be claimed as a business expense so corporation tax of £200k, leaving them in debt.
Meanwhile twitter work experience lad gets crushed to death after unfortunate accident in warehouse when 3000 tonnes of unsold Abc tests topple on to him after he goes to check in on Colin who had locked himself in the gents.
