4.10 : 순이익률

The net profit ratio measures a company's profitability by providing insights into its efficiency in converting revenue into actual profit after accounting for all expenses.

It is calculated by dividing the net profit by the total revenue and multiplying the result by a hundred.

Consider Oak Furnishings, a furniture manufacturer.

It reports a total revenue of five hundred thousand dollars annually.

After accounting for total costs, such as cost of goods sold, labor, and rent, and other costs like interest, depreciation, and taxes, Oak Furnishings's net profit is seventy-five thousand dollars.

The net profit ratio would amount to fifteen percent.

It indicates that for every dollar of revenue, Oak Furnishings retains fifteen cents as net profit.

This ratio is important for evaluating the manufacturer's financial health and operational efficiency.

A higher net profit ratio suggests that the manufacturer manages costs well and efficiently converts sales into actual profit. A lower ratio may indicate higher costs or lower profit margins.

Understanding this ratio helps Oak Furnishings make informed decisions about pricing, cost control, and growth strategies.
