[QUOTE=Bill Murphy;
The projected loss for 1941 as projected in 1940 was $86,200.69. Of that figure, $34,096 was for VHE grade guns. In 1941, it cost $215.59 to build a VHE and its net price was $88.23.[/QUOTE]
I would think it safe to say the $215.59 cost to build the VHE is not the actual cost of material and labor for each gun, but rather the cost in relationship to the total cost of overhead of the entire company. If sales had been higher the build cost per gun would have been lower. If the company could have sold 1500 guns or more each year they would have made a nice profit.
When sales are slow it's the overhead that can sink a company.
