By The Numbers - part the forty seventh

Now that Orange Jesus has embarked on his latest Grift with gold plated (yeah, right) kicks at $399, let's run a few numbers, shall we?

Back in the old days, I knew some folks in small business, who imparted the rule-of-thumb of small business (and TTO is certainly no more than that):
⅓ to materiel
⅓ to labor
⅓ to owners

According to the latest tally, Orange Jesus is on the hook, in toto, for $600,000,000. So, at best, Orange Jesus pockets $133 per each pair. So, class, how many gold plated kicks does he need to shift in order to cover the vig?

Well, $600,000,000 / $133 comes out to - 4,511,278 pairs of kicks. Are there that many sub-GED rubes just itching for a pair of gold plated kicks? Only The Shadow knows.
