This must just mean that the 50% world-cost for production isn't fully implemented yet, yeah?  (Which is something I'm fully for, since it gives just a _hint_ of economy, and some of us do like a wee bit of economy in our alien killage.  ;-)

I think producing earth grade items should be lower than average sales, but selling it should be even lower than producing, since our job is to shoot down aliens, not being a PMC or weapons contractor.

Real money should be made in replicating alien guns and selling them since we should have the blueprints only!

It's my understanding that there is no intention at this time to introduce production-for-profit.

Or rather removing production-for-profit was on purpose...

Lew Yard:
I could see the world cost for goods only available after research (both buy and sell) being reduced once you've actually built something and sold it rather than keeping it -- the reasoning being that you've now provided engineering samples for others to figure out how to manufacture on a larger scale.

XCOMTurcocalypse:
XCOM had the produce-for-profit feature in case of laser cannons for the first game, and railgun equivalent in the sequel. They were very profitable. I even built a whole base just as a war factory for the profit :)
