How to present "hidden costs" and "value-add"
Financing options and upgrade paths
Certainly! Let’s convert the 5-Year Cost Sheet and related financial elements from MMK (Myanmar Kyats) to USD, using the current market exchange rate of ~4,550 MMK/USD (based on your previous IPO documents and finance reporting context).
📘 Updated Cost Comparison (in USD)
🔹 5-Year Cost Sheet (USD Estimate)
| Category | T&M (Estimate) | FSMA (Estimate) |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Purchase | 25,000,000 MMK = $5,495 | 0 USD (rental-based) |
| Toner & Drum (5-year) | 45,000,000 MMK = $9,890 | Included in per-page fee |
| Service Charges | 10,000,000 MMK = $2,198 | Included |
| Downtime Cost | High (Unpredictable) | Low (PM by FSE) |
| Stock Management | Manual effort = ⏱ + 🧑💼 cost | None |
| Risk of Damage | High (3rd party toner) | Low (OEM only) |
| Monthly Billing Process | Multi-department each time | Single invoice/month |
| Total Est. (5-year) | ~$17,583+ USD | ~$14,000 USD (est.) |
🔸 Conclusion: While FSMA may seem more expensive per month, it often saves ~20%–25% overall in total ownership cost — and delivers higher quality, speed, and safety.
💡 Cost Highlights in USD
❗ Hidden Costs in T&M (in USD terms)
Delay in purchase approval → Potential downtime = $500–$1,000/month
PCB or Drum damage from poor toner → Repair = $300–$600/incident
Stock handling staff time → Avg $50–$100/month
Lost productivity (waiting for parts) = $100–$300/job
✅ Value-Added by FSMA
OEM toner = 100% guaranteed print quality
No downtime surprises = built-in PM
All costs in one invoice = zero accounting friction
No CapEx, no depreciation → good for new branches/startups
💸 Financing & Upgrade Paths (USD)
| Model | Type | USD Impact |
|---|---|---|
| CapEx (Buy) | Capital | $5,495 upfront + ongoing consumables |
| T&M (OpEx) | Operating | $1,000–$1,500/month avg over 5 years |
| FSMA (OpEx) | Operating | ~$230–300/month depending on volume |
