### Explanation of Terms and Ratios:
- **Gross Profit Percentage**: This ratio measures how much out of every dollar of sales a company keeps in earnings. It is calculated as: 
  \[ \text{Gross Profit Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Net Sales} - \text{Cost of Goods Sold}}{\text{Net Sales}} \right) \times 100 \]

- **Return on Sales Ratio**: This ratio indicates how efficiently a company turns sales into profit, factoring in all expenses. It is calculated as:
  \[ \text{Return on Sales Ratio} = \left( \frac{\text{Net Income}}{\text{Net Sales}} \right) \times 100 \]
  where:
  \[ \text{Net Income} = \text{Net Sales} - \text{Cost of Goods Sold} - \text{Operating Expenses} + \text{Other Income} \]

By using the provided figures, you can derive these key financial ratios to understand the profitability of Alex Enterprises.
