Examples: Case Study in XC Power Flagship Station
Considerations:
- Mexico VAT: 16%
- Charging cost: 1 USD per kWh
- Charging factor: 2
- Payment processor fee: 3% of the transaction total plus 0.4 cents
In our example, the Associate Group comprises three members. The dispersion order is as follows:
- Associate 1: Cost owner and receives 50% of the revenue.
- Associate 2: Receives 15 USD and is the remnant owner.
- Associate 3: Receives 10% of the revenue.
Case 1: A client charges 90 kWh
- Total amount: 180 USD
- 90 USD is paid to the cost owner for electricity.
- Deductions:
o VAT (16%): 28.8 USD
o Payment processor fee (3% plus 0.4 cents): 5.4 USD + 0.4 cents = 5.8 cents.
o Remaining utility: 55.4 USD
- Subtracting VAT (16%) from the utility: 8.864 USD.
- Revenue for distribution: 46.536 USD.
o Associate 1: 50% = 23.268 USD
o Associate 2: 15 USD
o Associate 3: 10% = 4.653 USD
- Remaining balance: 3.615 USD, allocated to Associate 2 as the remnant owner.
Case 2: A client charges 45 kWh
- Total amount: 90 USD
- 45 USD is paid to the cost owner for electricity.
- Deductions:
o VAT (16%): 14.4 USD
o Payment processor fee (3% plus 0.4 cents): 2.7 USD + 0.4 cents = 3.1 cents.
o Remaining utility: 27.5 USD
- Subtracting VAT (16%) from the utility: 4.4 USD.
- Revenue for distribution: 23.1 USD.
o Associate 1: 50% = 11.5 USD
o Associate 2: Remaining 11.5 USD
- In this case, the distribution ends with Associate 2. Associate 3 receives no revenue, and there is no remnant balance.
COSTS AND DISPERSION
The dispersion payment system facilitates the distribution of transaction costs among a group of associates. Each group must negotiate with the partner regarding the revenue share and the distribution order.
The dispersion process is as follows:
1. A transaction is executed.
2. The charging cost is allocated to the cost owner, who is responsible for electricity payments.
3. The remaining amount, after deducting the payment processor fee and VAT, constitutes the utility.
4. VAT is then deducted from the utility.
5. The remaining amount is dispersed among the associates according to the agreed terms within each associate group.
6. Any surplus after distribution goes to the remnant owner.
