Profit & cost breakdown

Question

Your experienced opinion please -

Scenario - Let's say you did 100 decks last year. Avg. price was $750.00 per deck. That means your gross was $75,000.00. What do you say the breakdown on the following items should be? Please, no percents. Just dollars. I broke the results down into 2 different categories. Obviously, typical speaks for itself, optimal is for someone with realistically good closing skills and runs an efficient company. BTW, this is also based on the business owner not doing any of the labor. He/she will be too busy doing estimates!

Item -------------Typical Results -------------Optimal Results

Adv. Cost

Supplies

Wages

Gas (ballpark)

Profit

Ok

I will give this a try, but I will need to relate to a $1,500 average deck never really done a $750 deck too much.

Supplies- clean and stain also misc. = $180

Wages- cleaning and staining = $390

Gas- for the job and getting there = $30

Profit estimate $900

But don't forget the pro-rated expences:

Vehicles

insurance

office

phone

advertising

repairs

equipment

etc...............................................which should be 10% to 20% of every job.

real profit would be $765 on a $1,500 job. Which is 50% pure profit.

This is just off the top of my head with out digging to deep.
