  • The calculation of the ratio using the equation and the pre-assigned Quick Study or Exercise from the textbook. (See below)
  • Use the result in a sentence; i.e. For every dollar invested in assets the company is earning 22.4 cents or 22.4% in net income. 
  • Then explain whether this is a good result or a result that needs improving.

**QS 5-15 Computing and Analyzing Gross Margin Ratio**

Compute net sales, gross profit, and the gross margin ratio for each of the four separate companies. Interpret the gross margin ratio for Carrier.

|                | Carrier  | Lennox  | Trane  | York    |
|----------------|----------|---------|--------|---------|
| Sales          | $150,000 | $550,000| $38,700| $255,700|
| Sales discounts| 5,000    | 17,500  | 600    | 4,800   |
| Sales returns and allowances | 20,000 | 6,000  | 5,100  | 900     |
| Cost of goods sold | 79,750  | 329,589 | 24,453 | 126,500 |

In this table:

- **Sales** represent the total revenue generated from sales.
- **Sales discounts** are reductions in price given to customers.
- **Sales returns and allowances** account for returned or defective items.
- **Cost of goods sold** (COGS) is the direct cost of producing or purchasing the products sold.

To find the net sales, gross profit, and gross margin ratio:

1. **Net Sales** = Sales - Sales Discounts - Sales Returns and Allowances
2. **Gross Profit** = Net Sales - Cost of Goods Sold
3. **Gross Margin Ratio** = (Gross Profit / Net Sales) x 100

For interpretation, apply these calculations specifically to Carrier and analyze how efficiently it converts sales into profit, compared to other companies.
