I don't mind profits.  However, it illustrates how anti-trust law in the US failed.  Exxon was originally part of Rockfeller's Standard Oil over a century ago.  It was broken up due to the excessive influence that the company had as a monopoly. Over time, it has reformed back into the beast it was and, once again, is excessively influencing the markets.\n\nNotably, it should be criminal that Exxon's profits and still refuses to pay the jury's $5 billion award to fisherman from the Exxon-Valdez Oil Spill from 1989.  The abuse of the courts illustrates a complete disregard for the legal process as well as excessive corporate influence in the court system.

Well, take your last paycheck and you should see what you paid in so far (year-to-date). That should give you a general idea.

Gross profit is sales - COGS, so you figure out the profit after the raw goods/direct labor.\n\nNet profit takes into account a whole bunch of other factors.  It's how much the company actually made and can "keep" in the form of retained earnings.\n\n-SG&A\n-interest expense on debt\n-taxes\n-other one-time income or expenses

Accounting always gives me a headache.\n\nThis is probably wrong, but it seems like you could just calculate next year's revenue as 935M, so the COGS is 374M.\n\nThe current inventory turnover is 340M/40M = 8.5.\nThe future inventory turnover is going to be 10.\n\nHence, 10 = 374M / inventory(next year).\n\nInventory next year = 37.4M

According to Global Insight:\n\n"modest gain of 3.2% in 2004 ... likely to post a 12.7% gain in 2005. ...outlook for 2006 calls for deceleration ... to a modest 5.5%. [Based on] office and industrial construction ... and supply shortages ... in some areas..." \n\n"...prices are likely to gain strength through the first half of 2006 [due to rebuilding in the Gulf Coast]. ...prices are expected to ease slightly by the end of 2006."

Your 2nd Estimated tax voucher for 2006 is due tomorrow (6/15/06)\nYou can go to the IRS website and download form 1040ES (some forms can even be filled in on-line, but be sure to print it twice so you have the original and a copy.) You base your 2006 estimated taxes on your total Federal income taxes paid for 2005.  This is a safe harbor, you may (probably) will wind up still owing 4/15/07.  If you wait to the end of the year, you probably will incur Estimated Tax penalties for not having at least as much tax paid in for 2006 as you had to pay  for 2005.\n\nYou should also check to see if your state requires Estimated Taxes to be paid, most do.\n\nHopes that helps,\nSourdough48

Several companies use fixed percentages of revenues to calculate profits, but gross receipts will still be a factor. X= gross receipts y = 15% fixed profit X time .15 = Profits.

If you received a prize of 12,000 then you add it to your total income on the other line on form 1040.  In 2005 it was line 21 and in 06 will be close to that line.  In the 15% bracket you will face $ 1,800.00 in federal income tax on the 12k.  The next brackets range up from 25, 28, 33 and 35%.  Get an instruction booklet for form 1040 and plug in your total taxable income for an exact figure.

From the choices, it looks like A.  Decrease.\n\nWith lower margins (see monopoly versus perfect competition), the profits slim down over time and there's less room for individual growth even with the total size of the industry increasing.

Exxon currently, in terms of overall dollar. Profit margin though, don't know; probably Microsoft. exxon reported net income of 36 billion.

It depends on how much you are making and how many dependents you are claiming. The tax standards were raised this year.

Total Gain = m + 2m - (m+50) = 2m - 50\n\nTotal profit for 3 weeks = 2(150) - 50 = 250

It sounds normal for an average UK company to do that. Some will have policies in place to provide additional income but this is unlikely to kick in after just 6 months.
