Merchandise sales

I used to make $800,000 in merchandise sales, and for the most recent race I only made $80,000 (approx).  Is this part of the patch?  All I see is that the Commercial manager will now have "a meaningful role within the team".  My manager has a skill level of 13, does that warrant a drop off by a factor of 10?

Well... there's a bunch of things to tweak in the Commerce facility...
Also I lost almost 500k :D So 80k profit is good :D

you can now assign staff to it, if you go into facilitys, commerce theres new options, also 13 skill level for what? you actual staff, or the level of your merchandise guy?

Does the final markup prices seem off to anyone?  I'm seeing seeing costs of 15, with a 25% markup ending with a final price of 40.   Shouldn't the final price be 18.75?

Ahhh I see, it's not a percentage, it's the actual markup price.

^ it used to be a % [not sure if its wrong now and should be a % or not]  i've not played about with it since it changed tbh so not sure how much changing it effects income

You might as well solve the problem by firing your marketeers and commercial manager and stop wasting money on earning money.
Marketing is not a non-profit company for tax write-off purpose... *lol*

I am putting 30 peeps on marketing now just to see what the effects are. I think the effect must be pretty good since I "waste" the people on this, but we'll see. (Or better I will see mwhahaha)

you should be able to make around £3,800,000 per race maximum as long as you dont need to refit any parts or do any design work
