Cost groups

There is three major costgroups visible in the operating review after each year:

  • the fixed costs have stayed the same during all four years, and the fixed depreciation costs is one of them.
  • the variable costs depend on the occupancy rate
  • the costs team decisions, well depend of course on the decisions the team took during the years.

Fixed depreciation costs of existing assets

There is an amount of depreciation costs of existing assets, set at € 525.187 fixed costs which you can find in the operating review and which you cannot influence. This part of the fixed costs is called depreciation costs of existing assets. You do not have to bother about this amount, though it is around 34,64% of your total of costs as you have a rather big assets. As these costs are fixed they are not influenced by the occupancy rate nor by your decisions and so will stay the same all over the years.

With a mouse over in column A you will get additional information.

New investments

However, if you do new investments, you will get a cost group Extra depreciation on your operating review. In you explanations you should calculate how you want to do this.
You can do investments of max. € 500.000 per year. You will have to explain of course what you planning to use this money for. As you will only get an overview of costs and revenues per year in the operating review you will not see the investment anywhere on for instance your balance. You do not have to worry about financing your investment neither: the € 500.000 per year is no problem.
So you have to consider if you want the extra costs coming from your investment. Automatically all your investments will be linear depreciated in 4 years, there is no choice in this. So € 125.000 extra depreciation costs per year if you opt for the full amount.

Max. investments and depreciations
Year Investment Additional yearly depreciationsTotal depreciations this year
Prologue Not done € 0 € 0
Year 01 Max € 500.000 € 125.000 € 125.000

Year 03 Max € 500.000 € 125.000 € 375.000
Year 04 Max € 500.000 € 125.000 € 500.000
TotalMax € 2.000.000 € 500.000 € 1.250.000


But you can also chose for total different investments like:

How big should the investment be?

Of course first of all you have to have a clear plan: what do you exactly want to do? Does this fit-in with your strategy? Secondly realize that investments bring upon costs (the depreciation as explained above), so will you earn this back?
But you do want to renovate the sauna, what does this cost? Well, check the internet, look around in study material or look at cases. A educated guess is required, so estimate the costs yourself, based on any comparable prices you have found. Try to be realistic, but as in reality 'how much does it cost' depend on so many things and is not easy to answer. A good starting point is estimating hotel costs. Do not focus to much on details!
