A.8 X-COM Profitability study -- by Jeff Shaffer [edited]

Recently, we at the XCOM Business Institute (our motto: "If it's worth
doing, it's worth analyzing to death") spent all last night to bring you
the following table. The basic assumption is that you are willing to
support engineers long-term in order to make a profit. I calculated
results for a hypothetical 2-workshop operation. You would get slightly
better results with larger facilities, due to the economy of scale.
