Quarter 6 – open three offices, Paris, London, New York. Staff with 5 each, 1 service and 4 sales personnel, with two sales staff for priority 1 and 2 target markets, at a cost of $xx,xxx.
In Quarter 6 we were going to spend 509, 000 per sales offices we had opened in quarter 5.
Since we had increased number of sales offices, the cost to hire sales people will be 1, 343,398.
In quarter 7 & 8 we are not going to open any sales offices, but we are going to hire 10 more sales people to supplements additional sales offices we had opened in quarter 5 and 6 and these additional numbers of sales people will maintain staffing in quarter 6 through quarter 8.
R & D we have been doing great on R & D so we decide to spend approximately 3,000,000 in quarter 6, 7, and 8 for R & D. And all other operating cost will stay the same.
