General average of variable costs amounted to about L.E. 2,380.8 per head, with a relative importance of about 81.17% of the total The average total costs amounting to about L.E. 29.33 per head, when studying the profit margins, the general average of total head income was about L.E. 3506.5, the average net return amounted to about L.E. 573.5 L.E. of the average return above the variable costs was about 1125.7 L.E, the average of value added, was L.E. 989.3. The average return on costs was about 1.19, the average return on the invested found was about 19.5%, and the average profit margin was about 16.3%.
