Greece’s debt, compared to Apple’s profit

Let's just say that Apple could bail out a country.

This final note today, in which we provide the answer to the Greek debt crisis. It came along with Apple’s profit report yesterday.

Bloomberg did a little math after it had had a chance to digest the numbers. Apple had $97.6 billion in cash in the bank as of the end of last year. Greece has $62 billion in debt coming due this year.

So that’s a bailout plus, say, the entire net worth of Boeing, with $20 billion left over.
