Santos, Ellah Sharielle Q. ACC 302
A) No, because subtracting the expense from the revenue will give the
business a profit. Having a higher revenue than your expenses means you are
not losing a venture.
The business is profitable. Having a 50-70% gross profit ratio tells that a
business can be considered healthy. The computed gross profit is 52.3%. The
operating ratio shows a 57% rate and the ideal OER is between 60% to 80%,
but the smaller the ratio, the more efficient the company generates revenue.
Lastly the rate of return of sale shows a 55%.
