Per bushel would it be more cost effective to stockpile cash despite Corruption than bushels if your Decay/Corruption is reduced by 70%?

I can't quite get my head around the required math formula to figure it out.

decay is useless if is not at 100%.

the point is to not suffer decay, either by bonus or by placing the bushels on the market (staying below 2B cash)

If you will suffer decay then you are better off doing the traditional stuff (sending your bushels to the market and staying below 2b)

I'm trying to understand how it's better to lose 8 or 10 dollars a bushel over (x)Bushels (when you resell on your PM) than absorb $1 million per turn corruption. Either way, you're going to lose money, but you're going to lose less by doing one or the other depending on the public market price of bushels.

Somehow, there has to be a way to find the "balance point" where minimum loss is achieved.

you shouldn't lose anything due to corruption -- sell food on public market at 100 (stockpille it) and only hold aorund 2b cash

Dragon, you also have to factor in how much you are losing by corruption. Its a % of the cash you have on hand over 2 billion dollars. It works out to 1 million per 1 billion per turn if you have no decay, so it would be about 300,000 per turn per billion (over 2) with your decay. Assuming you have rep cashers a lot of the question revolves around how you are going to destock. If you're going to convert to demo/theo you're going to have to buy and sell bushels eventually or lose 14%+ of your stockpile.

If you're under 5 or 6 billion cash you'll be losing less than 1 million a turn so at that point stocking cashing wouldn't be too bad, if you're up around 20-30 billion then you'll start having problems.

You're missing my point. Let's say I have a billion bushels stocked. In the absolute worst case scenario, let's say I have to sell every single one of them on my private market.

Further, let's say I'm buying at $45. Which after 6% comission is actually $47.70 [er bushel.

Now. Having to sell on my PM at $34/bushel means I am losing $13.70 per bushel. Which further means if I'm holding a BILLION of them, I LOSE $13.7 billion dollars.

I'm trying to figure out how much cash I can hold (in terms of corruption)before it's better to buy bushels at the prevailing market price.

that is an individual problem, and we don't really know how your country looks, so you have to run the numbers yourself, if you are a demo is easy to buy/sell to avoid massive stock lost due to bushels price going to hell.

Why are you selling on private? wouldn't it worth it to sell on public at low amounts?

I'm assuming a worst case scenario, ICey. If I buy at $45, I'm paying $47.70

I have no reason to believe that bushels will be higher than $40 (or less) when Jump Time comes along. So with the 6% sellig comission, if I sell at $40, I only pocket $37.60. I still lose over $10 a bushel and that's assuming that every single bushel (ad I have a LOT of them) sells on the Public.

I guess the real answer is if you're gonna play one of the fat, bloated landpigs, it should be a Demo Farmer.

if you have 1b bushels it means. 47.7b cash. You're losing 45.7m cash per turn. With 70% reduced loss it is at. 14.31m per turn. After (13 700 / 14.31) 957.372467 turns it is more profitable to store stuff on the market. These calculations ofcourse depend on how much stock you have etc.

My land-pigs are ALWAYS theo. That way when I dump, I can buy solely on my PM. (I usually dump 2-3b cash on Military tech) I can even resell a day or two at those outrageous prices aswell.
