FORD MOTOR CO. ISSUES FINANCIAL STANDING OF 1924 Profits Estimated at SIOO,435,416 Were Cleared by Ford Family, Bv United Press NEW YORK, March 28.—The Ford Motor Company during 1924 made profits estimated at $100,435,416, which is equivalent to $582 earned for each of the 172,646 shares of capital stock —all of which are owned by the Ford family. ► These figures, derived from comparing the financial statements for the years 1923 and 1924, do not represent the actual income, which is never made public. In 1923 the profit and loss surplus was $422,041,081; in 1924, $542,476,479. The financial statement, filed In Boston yesterday, shows cash, notes receivable, accounts receivable, securities, patent rights and trade marks of $300,275,845, compared with $271,618,668 the previous year. From these statements, some Wall Street statisticians calculate the value of each share of Ford stock to be worth as much as $6,000 —which would place the total stock valuation at more than a billion dollars.
