FMU Profitability (White Giant)

I've got an FMU in my country, The Kingdom of Navamin...and it always shows a loss.

One particular item I'm wondering about is how to get the company to use it's own stock and not to buy. Factory Manufacturing Units are pricey on the market, and I'd like my company to hold enough stock to use what it needs of it's own stock. Is there a way to do this? Also, can I sell my companies stock? In my opinion, there is no need for them to hold on to so much.

you have to make a contract

Never make contracts for FMU. Buy it on the world market. The lower the quality, the better.

Quality-wise, won't lower initial quality affect the end quality of your corporations products?

The effect of a particular supply on the supply quality calculation is weighted by the amount consumed. FMU is consumed in such small amounts that it has virtually no effect on the quality of the final product.

So it is in Volume amounts then? So if services is used at a corporation for ex. 200,000 units per month, and FMU is used at 50 per month, I really only need to get say 100Q for FMU, and about 160Q for services?
