What is the true cost of manufacturing a carton of Marlboro cigarettes.?

Here is a typical manuacturing model from "Health Canada" website.

Notice taxes taking $42.89 out of the proposed $53.01 wholesale price. This is a Canadian site and dollar amounts are Canadian. US and Canadian exchange rates at time of article (2002) are apporximately $1 Canadian =$.63 US. Canadian taxes have typically been higher than US rates on tobacco products. Production costs in US are believed by many to be less due to superior automation and local tobacco farming.

"To analyse the impact of an ignition propensity standard on cigarette manufacturing costs, a baseline model of the cost structure of a representative cigarette manufacturer was developed. Exhibit 2-9 presents this model.

The figures in Exhibit 2-9 show that total manufacturing costs (i.e., before operating profits and taxes) for a representative cigarette manufacturer are approximately $5.70 per carton. Of this amount, materials comprise the major cost factor, while labour constitutes a relatively small portion of costs, reflecting the largely automated nature of cigarette production. Purchased leaf tobacco is the largest single cost input at $1.15 per carton, or more than 20 percent of total costs. Handling, transport and storage costs for tobacco at the early stage of production are also significant, at approximately 17 percent of total costs. Subsequent steps in the production process - tobacco processing, plug making, and cigarette making - together account for approximately 19 percent of total costs. Packaging and shipping costs represent 14 percent of the total, while general business expenses (which include building depreciation and overhead) account for the remaining 30 percent.

The model estimates operating profits of $4.43 per carton. Thus, operating profits represent approximately 44 percent of the before-tax wholesale price of a carton of cigarettes. When taxes are taken into account, however, the price charged by manufacturers - an estimated $10.12 per carton - represents only 19 percent of the estimated wholesale price of $53.01 per carton.

Who manufactures the M67 grenade?

The M67 has been manufactured by at least three distinct companies, each of whom utilize unique markings to distinguish their product.

"JA" marked M67s were manufactured by the Joliet Army Ammunition Plant, located just south of Joliet, Illinois. Production of the JA M67 took place at the Kankakee facility of the JAAP (previously known as the Kankakee Ordnance Works) during the Vietnam War, ending sometime in the late 1970s. The JAAP no longer manufactures live-ordnance.

"LS" M67s were manufactured by the Lone Star Ordnance Plant of Texarkana, Texas, a contractor-operated facility previously run by the Goodrich Corporation (former B.F. Goodrich Rubber Corporation) under the auspices of a defense contract. LS M67s were produced throughout the Vietnam War and, perhaps, well after; however, the LSOP has since been deactivated (as of 2009) courtesy of the 2005 BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) issued by the United States Department of Defense.

"MA" M67s were/are manufactured by the Milan Army Ammunition Plants (composed of what was, originally, the Milan Ordnance Depot and Wolf Creek Ordnance Plant), located adjacent to Milan, Tennessee. The MLAAP is a member of the United States Army Materiel Command (AMC), whose purpose is the assembly, packaging and storage of conventional ammunition exclusively for military use and, as such, is the sole former-manufacturer of the M67 still in business today.

It's probable that other groups have also created the M67 over its service lifespan, however, I've no records to indicate such.

What are Workers compensation codes?

Workers compensation codes are classifications used by work comp insurance companies to classify the degree of workplace risk exposure for different jobs. A clerical office worker, for example, has a lower risk of being injured on the job than a firefighter or a roofer. The classification system is published and maintained by the National Council on Compensation Insurance, Inc. (NCCI) in a book called the Scopes of Basic Manual Classifications, and contains detailed descriptions of each classification. It is updated annually, and can be purchased from their website.

***** adding to the answer above******

Not all states follow NCCI Classifications. California for example has their own classification Manual. PA & DE, are completely different from NCCI codes, and have mostly 3 digit class codes, instead of the NCCI 4 digit codes. PA & DE also have a separate classification system for Staffing Employees. Although the above answer is true in a way, clerical employees can only be assigned to a clerical class code if and only if, they are in an office 100% of the time. A desk worker in a tiny room who works at a mechanic filing paperwork, that walks through the shop area multiple times a day, and doesnt have a separate exit, needs to be coded as the governing code of the Auto Body shop, and will not take a clerical code, even though their job is Clerical work. Misclassifications are typically the number one issue on a WC policy, and ive seen alot of insureds having to cough up the Additional premium amounts on the audit because they are unsure how to classify.
