I assumed 90 days in the quarter, or 129,600 minutes. So dollar or minute wise, that comes out to a 00.35% penalty to that quarter. Edit: Which isn't even close to the 36 minutes in that article, so I'd err on me being the wrong one. Edit 2: I think I see the difference, I was looking at their profit, not their revenue.Your calculations look right to me. That's a little under eight hours of profit.We need percentage based fees.... Make it a 10% of the quartely gross or something depending on the severity.
