What does the average $30,000,000 in sales manufacturing firm have for pre-tax earnings?

Answer 1

That would depend on a lot of factors: their industry, products sold, if they sell globally or domestically, if they're in a Federally regulated industry.

IndustryWeek tracks the largest publicly traded manufacturing firms:

By searching the database based on sales revenue, you can see what companies these are, then use Y! Finance to lookup each ticker.

Answer 2

Could be ZERO...it depends, what the cost of the sale of sales items are. Are they self manufactured of purchased wholesale and resold at retail.

A good rule of thumb for a any business ( to make it worth while) is at least 2.5 % net profit on gross sales; ie: 30,000,000 X 2.5% =750,000.00 etc.

Then you must factor in improvements, renovations or equipment leased or purchased, which would depreciate against net taxable earnings.

Answer 3

In the range of $1.2 to $2.2 Million on average. What is interesting is that weak manufacturing companies are making less, but strong manufacturing companies are making more money than ever.

We work for a number of companies this size to increase value.

Good Luck,
