About this film
The sticker is an introduction. It is not the entire conversation.
Bronto builds a sample machine-cost subtotal, then asks what is still missing before useful parts can leave the shop.
Invented subtotal:$100,000 machine +$15,000 delivery/installation +$10,000 tooling/training =$125,000, before taxes, additional site/software/contingency/working cash and financing. Do not call this complete production-ready cost. Use project unlevered cost/returns OR a consistently financed equity cash flow including borrowing proceeds and repayments; do not charge purchase principal twice.
Educational boundary
General educational information only, not an offer of financing, a recommendation to borrow, or individual financial, tax, legal, engineering or safety advice. All dollar amounts are USD. Bob, the finance representative and their situations are fictional. Numerical examples are hypothetical, not current offers, market benchmarks, normal rates, quotes or promises of approval or return. Eligibility, terms, fees, tax treatment, ownership rights and laws depend on the actual agreement, jurisdiction and circumstances. MBB is an independent information resource, not a law firm, and is not acting as your lender, broker, attorney, accountant, financial adviser or site engineer. Consult appropriately qualified professionals and read the actual written terms before deciding. Commercial equipment credit does not automatically receive consumer mortgage protections.
An MBB Explains short, narrated by Bronto. Fictional illustrations turn machinery questions into something a little easier to understand.
Independent machinery knowledge. Understand the numbers before deciding.
