What Is the Gross Profit Ratio?
The gross profit ratio examines the efficiency of a firm's operations without concerning itself for the magnitude of sales.
Why Is it Important?
- By eliminating any information about the magnitude of sales, firms of different sizes can be compared to each other in a direct manner.
Formula(s) to Calculate Gross Profit Ratio
- GROSS PROFIT RATIO = GROSS PROFIT / NET SALES
Common Mistakes
- Assuming that a very high gross profit ratio is all that is required to determine the quality of a firm. Businesses that are very small and do not scale well may have excellent ratios, yet yield little in the way of profit or opportunities for further growth.
