Purchase cost of new ship

When you purchase a new ship, is there somewhere I can go to find what the actual cost of the ship is? In the playerBoughtNewShip event, the "ship" property has a price, but that doesn't seem to correlate to the price shown in the shipyard.

The price of the ship goes together with the price for the equipment installed. Thus the actual price shown in the offers list is higher.

There seems to be some difference between how the shipyard calculates the value of extra equipment when buying and how it's calculated for trade-in value when selling. I'm not sure what, though. Ships bought with just standard equipment had the price then reported by player.ship.price match exactly.
It's probably easier to stick a second "price" parameter on the playerBoughtNewShip event than to dig through the shipyard code, though.
