-[[:​get-started:​quickstart|QuickStart]] allows you to enter 8 assumptions,​ and then makes very broad assumptions about every other aspect of your company. Concerning expenses, if the average company in your industry spends x% of its revenues on expenses, <​php>​echo $conf['​comp_name'​];</​php>​ assumes that you will spend x% of your revenues on expenses. You can of course override the value of x by changing the value of EBITDA in your assumptions. In any case, <​php>​echo $conf['​comp_name'​];</​php>​ makes no attempt to divide these expenses into categories such as marketing, sales, R&D, manufacturing,​ and so on. If you want to do this, switch to Standard Mode after using [[:​get-started:​quickstart|QuickStart]] Mode. Click on Other Expenses. There you will find one entry for miscellaneous expenses that was created by the [[:​get-started:​quickstart|QuickStart]] Mode. Feel free to zero this row out, and replace it with rows for actual expense categories.+[[:​get-started:​quick-start|QuickStart]] allows you to enter 8 assumptions,​ and then makes very broad assumptions about every other aspect of your company.
