Another entry from the MPAA's website. I've been finding this a good source of information for my paper.

There are still many things that the MPAA does not disclose about how these ratings are given. There are a variety of rumors about the number of "F-bombs" can be used before you get an R rating. Please note how much longer the PG-13 entry is, as most films that are meant to be blockbusters in the theaters are PG-13. Also, PG-13 movies tend to be more profitable. I have no real statistics to back that claim up of course. Either way, this provides some insight into how the ratings are given.
Yeah it would make sense that PG-13 movies are more profitable because parents are more likely to allow their kids to see it.
