Dochen Holz yields 1 Florins, 1 Groschen 5 Pfennigs, after upkeep. 30% share is 3 Groschen, 4.5 Pfennigs. Minus 1 Groschen of personal expenses, is a net loss of 1 Groschen,  0.5 Pfennigs.

Actually, 3.45 Groshen - 4.5 Groshen to ES and - 1 Groshen Expenses comes to a loss of 2.05 Groshen. So you only have 5 Groschen, 7(.5) Pfennigs.

Tailwind shall sail to Nearsouthlands for sand. On delivery, the sand will be sold, the money used to pay for trinkets and repairs before the profits are distributed to the shareholders according to their shares. In the event that the repair costs exceed profits made, shareholders will be obliged to pay to repair the ship according to their shares unless a vote changes this. A 70% majority is required to pass any vote for the Tailwind.

Okay, two turns to catch up...
₣0.43 x 5 = 2.15
₣0.42 x 5 = 2.10
-₣2.00 = 2.25

So, a half-pfennig awaits in the Dochen Holz account.

After ₣0.20 for living expenses for two turns, and ₣0.12 owed to Cnidaros, I pocket ₣0.35 from Dochen Holz.

The Jolly Crustacean also nets 2 x (₣0.65-₣0.23) = ₣0.84.

Suggestion for the Doge: Consider authorizing the minting of half-pfennigs or tenth-pfennigs, or otherwise the lawful transfer of amounts less than a full pfennig on paper between accounts, so that we may collect such values immediately when they are produced by partial shares.

Welcome back Naturegirl1999, long time no see!

How do enterprises work?

Enterprises produce things at the cost of 1 Florin per turn. They generally cost 10 florins to set up, but in cases where input materials are needed (such as the Woodcarving Workshop) you also have to buy those upfront. Enterprises are less profitable than ships but are safer.

List of currently available enterprises:

• Shipyard: Use 10 lumber to produce a ship (1/turn)
• Lumber yard: Use public trees (currently free) to produce 5 Lumber
• Woodcarver Workshop: Use 1 lumber to produce 10 trinkets
• Glassblower Workshop: Use 1 sand to produce 12 trinkets

Due to abundance of sand on the market, prices fall rather significantly.

Adalwolf Forscher, sated with the landlubber life, is seeking funding for another expedition in the port tavern.

The Doge mints another coin, with his face on it it naturally. It's called a Halber and is equal to half of a Pfennig.

You sure? I thought I spent my last pfennig on the 20% Jolly Crustacean share (and living expenses for that turn), leaving me only the two turns of income in my account. I'll take the extra ₣0.59 if you want, but I'm not sure where it comes from.

In any case, income for this turn: Dochen Holz makes ₣2.05 revenue, ₣1.05 profit. 30% of that is ₣0.315. I've had had a Halber's worth set aside in the account, so I bring in ₣0.32. After a groschen of living expenses, that's ₣0.22 net income.

Falling lumber prices have certainly take their toll! Honestly we should have predicted that two ships' worth of sand would crash the prices as well, but I guess it's too late to change the ships' destination now. We also might have two ships at once run for bananas while we wait for prices to recover. I certainly hope we discover a new trade good soon.

Most of the details are actually in one of the posts following the OP.

All enterprises cost 10 Florins to set up and 1 Florin/turn to run.

Basically each enterprise consumes goods and makes more expensive goods. The main event is ships, which trade away trinkets for trade goods. However, since you start with 4 Florins and everything costs 10 Florins to start (ships also need to buy 10 trinkets on top of that) we have to make contracts which split ownership and expenses. Right now though I think you might have to wait a few turns because most of us spent our money recently. I don't know if there's enough interest in a new enterprise or not.

Given the current prices of goods, I think a Woodcarver Workshop might be a good choice of new enterprise. Consuming 1 Florin and 1 Lumber (₣1.41 and falling) it would produce 10 trinkets (₣2.4 and rising).
