Financial Plan

Initial investment.

Pre-operative expenses: The business incubator of the ITESM Campus Querétaro and the Parque Tecnológico have helped in the creation of Kuxtal Biotech, these institutions provided personal assessment as part of a pre-incubation process that have a total cost of 446.71 USD.

Financial Plan: The required initial investment is $725,732.14 USD, to obtain this value, the following was considered:
• $644,095.14 USD related to fixed assets, this includes all the laboratory equipment, and office equipment.
• $6,561.54 USD related to deferred assets, this includes publicity, rent, installations, and preoperative expenses.
• $75,075.46 USD related to circulating assets, this includes the necessary capital to be able to work for six months.

Financial indicators.

• The operation budget will be $63,114.69 USD, this includes salary wages for personal in charge of production and indirect expenses of production.
• The administration budget will be $67,230.77 USD, this includes salary wages for administrative staff and the expenses related to this department.
• The travel expenses budget for the salesmen staff will be $6,153.85USD.

The equilibrium point was calculated as follows:
(Total fixed costs)/(Sale price-Variable costs)
Considering this, Kuxtal Biotech needs to sale 38,758.49 oligonucleotides with 20 bp of length to finance the expenses but without any earnings.
