FINANCES and Ship's Accounts

This Thread should be strictly limited to "Miss Fortune's" accounting and trades. Most posts should be from me, with players adding corrections or clarifications as needed. If a player wishes to take over the accounting and can do so consistently and accurately please drop me a PM.

BUY IN: The Ship's Accounts were capitalized on a buy-in basis, with 1 share per character 'sold' for 62,000 Imperial Credits each. With 8 characters (one player has dropped out and I will assume a full refund for their character!) that amounts to a trading and operational-expenses fund of 496,000 cr.

MISS FORTUNE can carry 61 dTons of freight and cargo, with 5 dTons potentially hidden in its (former) smuggler's hold.

There are 6 Passenger Staterooms, all single occupancy, for High and Middle passengers. There are 10 "sleep berths" for Low passengers.

(There are 7 crew staterooms, one which is configured for double occupancy for a nominal crew of '8'. A 9th crew member would need to be accomodated in one of the passenger staterooms)
-----
Normal Expenses:

Monthly: Mortgage payment of 183,334 credits. Payable on the 15th of each month EXCEPT the 13th month (Sol-Vilis). There are 30 years remaining on the mortgage, thus 360 payments to go!

Monthly (optional): Usually an account is funded in order that yearly maintenance can be paid for. This would amount to 4400cr monthly, or 57,200 total. No 'free' 13th month here!


Per Jump: Life-Support and Supplies (2,000cr per stateroom, 100cr per sleep berth), 27,000cr
Per Jump/port-of-call: Standard wharfage/docking fee of 100cr for 7-days maximum. 100cr/day thereafter.
(added) Per Jump/ FUEL. You will normally purchase unrefined fuel and refine it with the onboard system. Takes 2 to 3 days! 100cr per ton of fuel, usually needing to purchase 44dtons (4,400cr). In-system travel may result in slightly higher fuel costs.

CREW SALARIES are not usually paid in a 'shares basis' ship, though allotments for personal expenses are generally made monthly or 'as-needed'.

I will check the ship ledger I have in the morning, when I am fresh and more alert....smile
BUT I am sure it is accurate or close.

The passengers pay upon booking, thus those passages from Fornice to Jokotre were already accounted for in my figures. The figures cited above are for new bookings at Jokotre.

The broker fee I missed entirely.

The price for speculative trade I took directly from your accounting....I thought! But your corrections stand.
