30 class eight injection pumps every 24 hours, times five days

-----
=7800 injection pumps per year

78000 injection pumps per year
x400 assuming a minimum of $400.00 per pump
-----
=3,120,000.00
Business income taxed at a rate of 4.95%

$3,120,000.00
- 4.95%
---------
=2,965,560.00

subtract $38,000 per machine for calibration every six months = $304,000.00
Subtract $140,000 for basic maintenance.

2,965,560.00
184,000.00
- 160,000.00
-------------
= 2,621,560.00

Subtract $225,000.00 for emergency machine repair every year.

2,621,560.00
- 225,000.00
-------------
=2,396,560.00

Now subtract for one machine scheduled for replacement or total rebuild each year.
Union labor to remove/install the machine $60,000.00
Rebuild/replacement five year average $480,000.00
Transport/shipping $7,000.00

2,396,560.00
480,000.00
60,000.00
- 7,000.00
-------------
=1,849,560.00

Again NOTE: this does not include employee labor cost, insurance, etc, etc...

If nothing goes wrong, goes wrong, goes wrong!

Wow! I didn't expect such detailed analysis. I was actually asking about profit margin for the manufacturer of the machine. What makes them so expensive to buy and maintain? Sounds like it is more complex than an MRI machine.
