Profit margins....

Just wonder what most would think the typical 5ver/TT
corporate "profit" margin is ??? I would expect ranges
vary ..less on the low end (volume sales) , more on the
high end (larger buy-in) , but I have no idea what per cent
range we would be talking about .. 5%, 10 %, 20 %, 30%, ?

Any here with business acumen that may know what the
acceptable per unit profit margin must be to stay in
business ? And, how does the "dealer" margin figure in ?

Thanks,

Unless you were privy to any private or public corporation's accounting - you wouldn't begin to know. Even were you privy to this private information, you wouldn't know or understand any particular company's business plan. Viewing their Federal Tax Returns for 5-10 years would be helpful, however, you still could not exact conclusions about the firm's business plan.
