I just have a question for anyone really. How much do you profit from each turn? Like you make 1 billion in revenues, but what is your profit? % wise you could answer. that way it could give me and some others sort of a goal to set. And to see where the larger companies are at.
Also the Assets to turnover. I have 16 Billion in assets. I just started up again, but right now my rev's have only reached anywhere from 600-800 Mil. So I only make like 5% give or take from my total assets. To me it seems pathetic. I have alot of buildings just sitting there because my Q isn't large enough. That is why my assets are much higher. I just want to see where other people are at so I can help better my company. Maybe this could help some other people as well.
Hi Globbela - thanks for the greetings. Hope u can win someday too, but u
realy must know the winning numbers
I think your scale isn't representing - as hardly anyone of the big guys pass the 20% of turnover /total assets ratio.
So I'd say you should make it - 1-10, 10-15, 15-20, 20-25, above 25
I dont think Turnover/Asset has any relevance.
In the beginning, if you do all out retail, you can maintain 50-100%, but the bigger you become, the lower the figure, because of the diminishing Qualification growth.
Asset has nothing to do with growth, because there is simply no place to invest money, so the marginal profit of any given amount is exactly 0%.
So no matter how much asset you have it wont help a single bit.
I have about 3,5% Turnover/Asset
Profit/Turnover has some meaning, but it still dont says much, because if you use warehouses, it can greatly screw your ratios.
Mine is 62% pretax, and 42% aftertax - at company level, but I always stockpile, ie. buy way more than consume, so its these numbers are lower than actually is, because practically I am investing constantly in stocks.
I think the most meaningful of this kind of ratios is Profit/(number of Production employee)
Mine is about 24K
My Profit to Revenues percentage is 56% for todays update (28.6.2010). As for my Profits to Assets its 2.3%. The Assets to Profit percentage is so low because I have $27,243,640,742.65 on my balance sheet (cash). It accounts for 86.5% of my total holdings.
For the big, established players, by far the biggest constrain is Production Qualification - or from a different viewpoint, the number of employees, who you can produce goods with.
And so, the most important thing is to optimize the usage of your production employees.
And the average profit of one production employee shows how much you can squeeze out of your people.
The higher this number, the more "efficient" your company works.
For example if you can achieve 1B profit with 50K people, than thats obviously better than to achieve the same with 100K. In the first case profit/emloyee is 20K, the second is 10K. The more the merrier
Other employee besides Production is not really relevant, because the farming/mining output is channeled into the final goods production, so its there.
Science is very important but it cant really be measured with this kind of numbers.
Retail is never the bottleneck, so retail employee number or utilization has practically no meaning.
Very nice. Yeah it is much easer to double or triple your current assets when you start, so I guess me being at 4.5% is not bad. The larger you become I guess the less it gets.
