>>212205105>And do what with her?She had value for Watto, clearly, by the rules of trade.
Let's say a racing pod is valued at P.
Watto said that no pod is worth two slaves. We can assume that at the very least, the value of a slave is 0.49P
Watto would expect to sell Shmi eventually, if he can make a profit from it.
If he can't make a profit, Shmi's production value is 0.49P/years of life expectancy.
Let's say a slave would live 55 years. That's 0,0089P of value per year produced. Now, Shmi should produce more than what it costs to maintain, so it's that value minus a mรญnimum of 49% of that value.
Shmi produces, per year, a net value of 0,00436 racing pods per year.
