My understanding of KSP 0.24 (First Contract) is returning parts safely to Kerbin will result in profit. My question is, what percent of the part cost is returned? 100%?

Also, if I drop parts, say solid boosters, with chutes will I make the money back if I keep flying or do I need to switch to boosters to get the payment?
