I divide mine by 52/ #weeks to get my weekly average. If I don’t hit that by Friday, then I know I either need to make it up next week or over the weekend. It usually works out though as long as I’m disciplined. I have 2000 req; 38.5/week. I try to bill 8 per day which gives me a buffer.

I had an adjunct professor who once got in trouble with a bankruptcy judge because he billed 26 hours in a day. I think it had some unusual circumstances like billing for travel plus billing for work done during the flight.

6-7 mostly, but can easily have 4-5 or 9-10 kind of days during slow/busy seasons. I’m in capital markets.

Quite a simple and probably stupid question, but if a company buys a machine for R&D, does the cost of the machine goes into the R&D expenses in the fin. Statements, or does it shows as depreciation during the lifespan?

If both, wouldn't this incur on counting the cost twice?
