On the starbase maintenance report you get a line that says:

Merchandising complexes made a profit of xxxx stellars

But by my calculations this is the income from the merch complexes, not actual profit (as "profit" would be the income minus the wages of the employees running the complexes?)

Is that right and if so, should the wording (or figure shown) be changed?

yes it is income, and does not remove the wages (they come under the "employees were paid xxx bit)

It would be worth changing it to "Merchandising complexes gave an income of...", but it's probably not worth it if the potential changes to merchandising (hinted at by David's information gathering thread) are likely to arrive in the short to medium term
