Still incorrect. You said "According to the article, his salary had previously been consuming nearly $1 million/yr of those profits". There was no information on previous year's profits, if any. There was only the forecasted $2.2 million for this year stated.
I don't even know what you're arguing about. If doesn't matter how much their previous profits were, $1M of it was still going into his pocket.
And technically, the money paid out to him as salary wouldn't be considered "profit," but that's beside the point.
I only partially disagree with your calculations. The other "chunk" will come from 75-80% of the $2.2 million projection. At 75% of that ($1.65 million) split 70 ways is $23,571.43 each. But that's not what the article says. It doesn't say all the extra money will be split evenly amongst the 70, only that those who are making less than $70k will now make that as a minimum. We don't know how it will be split up and I would think that those who are above the $70k will still keep there current salary.
You're making up arguments where there aren't any. I didn't say that they raises would be split up evenly. I was giving an average.
As for rates, debit cards are at a lower rate than credit cards. And AMEX fees are higher than Visa, MasterCard, and Discover fees. Also, depends on the contract if it is a flat per transaction fee (say $.25 per swipe) or a % of sales fee (2% +/-). Since their fee rates are propriety, a 2% average is probably not accurate, but works for purposes of discussion.
Yes, I know. I used to work in e-retail and dealt with order processing.
