Dear K. Mark
Pls refer to 2016 Laos capex budget as per EXCO presentation. For better control of capex spending, we have to distribute the budget to each cost center and control their spending not to higher than the allocated budget. Approver will base on company DOA which is still under your review.
Based on the template attached, we have listed all the current cost centers in Laos and try to fill in the template based on very rough assumptions below. Please help to amend as appropriate per your assumptions.
1. Visitor center and merchandising school is HR budget (same concept as Thailand)
2. Manufacturing parts –we assume they are machine component for the existing machine in plant and QA. So we divide equally.
3. Postmix equipment belong to Sales-vientiane (based on existing recording all postmix go to this cost center)
4. Cooler we divide equally among 4 sales offices.
5. Vehicle we divide equally among 4 sales office (Vientiane has high amount because of big office)
6. Computer and office furniture – put all in Finance & accounting. We can transfer budget, if we know specific requirement from each cost center.
Please note that, in fact, each cost center should have more specific details of their capex budget (i.e what to purchase, unit , unit cost) and then we can sum up to be the company budget.
Thank You and Best Regards
Ann
