How to Find Quality of Arbeit

Take a few moments to study and review the above diagram as I will be demonstrating everything in greater detail in this Entry. Pay close attention to the variables included there as well. Finding the Quality of Arbeit (QW) required to uncover the Final Quality of Arbeit (FQW) is a four-step procedure:

• Find the Arbeit of all Vocations for one Profession. Begin by finding the product of Work-Productivity (WP) and Force Multipliers (FM), subtract it by Work-Intensity (WI), then multiply it by the sum of all Vocations within a Profession. Identify the values of all Professions before proceeding onward.
• Find the Arbeit of all Professions for one Enterprise. Take the sum Value of Arbeit for all Professions, then multiply it by the sum of the Enterprises within their related Industry. Repeat the same operation across all Enterprises.
• Find the Arbeit of all Enterprises for one Industry. Take the sum Value of Arbeit for all Enterprises, then multiply it by the sum of their Industries. Repeat the same operation for every Economic Sector.
• Find the Arbeit of all Industries for one Economic Sector. Take the sum Value of Arbeit for Industries and multiply it by the number of Economic Sectors. In the context of the VCS Economy, there should only be five.

For the sake of brevity, I will only be demonstrating how to find the Quality of Arbeit for a single Enterprise in the VCS Economy. The same procedures are applicable to the SSE, the VCS Economy, the Reciprocal-Reserve Banking System, the Council State, and the National Intranet. The same will also be true for International Trade. Everyone should be relying on the same accounting system under the Work-Standard.

Most Enterprises in the VCS Economy feature the following Figures: The Civil Servant, the Delegate, the Administrator, Economic Planner, the Accountant, and the Inspector. Once we know the current number of personnel working at the Enterprise, we then need to determine the WP, WI and FM values by identifying their contributions of Arbeit.

1. What is the Arbeit?” There are countless conceivable ways of creating Arbeit, but the ones that the Accounting Profession will be concerned about are those affixed to the Domains of the Work-World. Each Domain has production processes being carried out by related Industries, Enterprises, Professions, and Vocations. What is produced by one Domain is a prerequisite to the production processes of another Domain and so forth.
2. “Who is contributing Arbeit?” All Professions, Enterprises, and Industries involved in the production process of each Domain must decide on the Value of their Arbeit. They negotiate with the State Commissariats of Wages and Prices, discussing why their Arbeit should be given its Value.
3. “Why did the Arbeit attain its Value?” The State Commissariats expects everyone involved in the production processes of a Domain to know why the their Arbeit should be given this particular Value and how much did it cost to create that Arbeit to begin with.
4. “How did the Arbeit receive its Price?” While individual Professions, Enterprises and Industries may have their own ideas about the worthiness of their Arbeit, the State Commissariats remain the final authority on all Prices at the regional level. The central government will base the National Prices based on the average Prices across every region of the Socialist Nation. Whatever Prices were set for the harvesting of natural resources, the production of Equipmentalities and finished goods, and the rendering of services will in turn impact the Prices for purchasing them. If the State Commissariats are compelled to make periodic adjustments to the Values of Arbeit, they will be recorded under the Convertibility Rate (CR) and then given new Prices.

The WP should be represented by the sum total value of the Arbeit that came from the production process and any transactional sales. Every good produced, every service rendered, and every good or service successfully sold to somebody else at the Tournament counts toward the WP value. The multiplication of the WP value by the FM value is impacted by whether the Arbeit in question happens to be Actual Arbeit, Digital Arbeit, or Military Arbeit. For the purposes of the Entry, we will be assuming that the Arbeit in question is Actual Arbeit, which is the most common form of Arbeit that naturally occurs in the VCS Economy.   

After multiplying WP and FM, we then need to subtract that value with the WI value. The WI value comes from the costs of producing goods and services and selling them to the Tournament. In the VCS Economy, all Enterprises spend Actual Geld in order to continue their production processes and contribute more Actual Arbeit. WI is meant to denote the Enterprise’s costs of having to produce goods and render services as part of the production process.

Subtracting WI from the product of WP and FM, we then multiply by the number of Vocations, then multiply again by the official Mechanization Rate (MR) established by the Central Bank. Unlike the FM value, the WP and WI values are designed to accommodate for the economic activities of one Vocation within a given Enterprise. Thus, the Arbeit contributed by all of the Vocations in the Enterprise should be accounted for. The MR value, meanwhile, is always a given because it has to be officially announced by the Central Bank and enforced by the Council State.

After completing those operations, we obtain the Quality of Arbeit for the Enterprise in question. Since we are only focusing on that particular Enterprise and not the entire VCS Economy or the Socialist Nation, we can then state the FQW value for that Enterprise alone. This is only the first half because we now have to convert Arbeit-into-Geld.
