Profit Breakdown Question | Print4Pay Hotel

GIntelMaven

I'm trying to get a better idea of the profit and cost breakdown for independent dealers.

Basically where the profit comes from overall and how the CPC is divided by back-end costs.

* Is it safe to say that the average A3 is offered to the dealer for about 40-50% below MSRP and then they add a 20-30% margin on top of that?

* What is the breakdown on the "dealer cost" side of the CPC between toner, maintenance items, parts, and labor?

* And of the above CPC components which drive the most profits? (Service right?) Does anyone have a % breakdown?

* Is this changing?

A lot of questions here I know, and I appreciate any insight.

Attached is a Fact Data sheet for an old Ricoh. I send it to you for illustration purposes only. I chose not to send na FDS on current product because of the competitive presense here but it should illustrate how Ricoh would answer your question, at least for this model and in a perfect world scenario.
