This is a quiz

Tonight you can buy a trainer lvl 5 for $1000 paying weekly $38747 (Mr Brollo)
or you can buy one (also lvl 5) 40 minutes later for $400000, weekly salary $15772 (Mr Yaseen).
How is it possible to make cost accounts to justify using $399000 to save $23000 weekly? This is the task to solve:
For how long can you have Mr Brollo before it is profitable to hire a new Mr. Brollo ($1000, weekly salary 38750) and not make it more expensive than Mr Yaseen (total cost at approx. same amount of weeks later)? (Raise in wage 2% weekly). The winner will be honored!

EDIT: Mr Brollo just reached $ 500 000, but let us stick to the "original" above numbers. But feel free to jump on this new arithmetical problem as well ...

After 16 Weeks you would overall (Price & Wage) pay 31960 less for Mr. Brollo than for Mr. Yaseen . To aquire a new Mr. Brollo you would have to pay 1000+38747 -> 39747 Dollars. If you want Mr. Brollo to be more profitable than Yaseen you can keep him for 15 Weeks.


PS: I like Maths but im a poor Mathematician so this is probably all wrong. Just got noting better to do ;)

Full honor to you!
To show the whole cost accounts I uploaded an image of an Excel sheet here: (http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/6853/bbtrener.gif) where Mr Brollo's cost accounts are to the left. As you see I put a line where you will pay more than $50000 weekly for him (just an idea that so much money is a limit for me). In the real cost accounts (on green) for Mr Yaseen, you can buy a "new" Brollo and still have more than $100000 to use for fun.

I find it smart to look for a new Mr Brollo after approx. ten weeks ans "save" much BB-dollars that way ...

Well I have to disagree with you on this subject.
You have to look at the average cost of the two trainers, if you kept reinvesting in a new one when it is cheaper to buy a new one. If you keep buying Brollos for $1.000 the best option is to buy a new Brollo when the old reaches a salary of 45398 or in week 8 (where week 0 is where you bought him), then you have to pay 1.000+45.398 (not 38.747)=46.398, the total salary for the 9 weeks is 38.747+39.522+.....+45.398=377.963, so the average cost of the trainer pr. week is
(46.398+377.963)/9=47.151.
With the other trainer it is more viable to keep him longer, in fact you should keep him until week 38, where his salary is 33.473 the total salary will be 918.518 for the 39 weeks. and the you have to pay the 433.473 when you buy a new one. Average cost pr. week: (918.518+433.473)/39=34666.
It can also be wise to get a "Yaseen" and keep him a long time, you can save a lot of money:-)

Ja, I forgot the fee all Brollos demand after some weeks in the club. Still I find Mr Brollo more attractive than the cheaper ones.
But I see your point, and if your liquidity is good, it can be smart to go for a Yaseen for a long time engagement.

keeping a trainer for about 3 seasons is one less headache. i don't know how you would quantify that benefit.

It may be the best option to buy the one with high salary, but if you have plenty of liquity it is cheaper to spend a large sum to get a low salary. If you look at the calculation you can actually save 10k a week when buying the one with low salary.

You can avoid the fee by cutting your trainer instead of replacing him. You do this after the training goes through and before the salary is payed. Then after the salary goes through you get the replacement. Best time to do it is when you are doing team training, so that you can keep that lvl 1 trainer an extra week or two and save some more.

You are mislead there:
* Gianluigi Lopez requests a severance payment of $ 43 165, due immediately.
* He will be replaced by a random Level 1 Trainer.

That's what happen when I'll fire him!
