Will Apple's Profits Be Investigated Next?

    Q1 2011   ExxonMobil     Apple
    Revenue$114.0B$24.7B
    Earnings Before Tax$18.94B$7.96B
    Income Taxes$8.0B$1.9B
    Net Profit$10.65B$5.98B
    Effective Tax Rate42.20%24.22%
    Profit Margin9.30%24.27%
    Profit/Employee$127,392 $128,470

    I wouldn't want to give Obama or Congress any ideas, but in the first quarter of 2011, Apple was more profitable than ExxonMobil based on both having a higher profit margin (24.27% vs. 9.30% for Exxon) and higher profits per employee ($128,470 vs. $127,392 for Exxon).  In addition, Apple's effective income tax rate was only 24.22% compared to Exxon's 42.2% rate, so it must be getting some very generous tax breaks and subsidies?
