Stage 3 calculations of ratios

4. For example, at the end of 2002, Roberts Ltd’s gross profit was £1000 and its sales
revenue was £10,000, therefore its % gross profit is 10%.
The higher this ratio is the better it is.
2. % Net profit
Remember
Gross profit – other expenses + other sources of income = net profit
Look closely at the following formula
Net profit
-------------------------- X100 = Net profit margin
Sales revenue/turnover
For example, if Roberts Ltd net profit at the end of 2002 was £500 and its sales
revenue was £10,000, then its % net profit is 5%.
Stage 4 Interpretations of ratios
In the above example Robert Ltd’s % gross profit and % net profit were 10% and 5%,
which indicate that the business profitability is poor/low.
The higher the ratios are the better the business profitability position.
Stage 5 comparisons of ratios
Look at Roberts Ltd’s % gross profit and % net profit over a period of time.
Year 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002
% gross 45% 35% 25% 15% 10%
profit
% net profit 30% 20% 15% 10% 5%
Comparison means working out a trend over a period of time.
