Introduction
Net Profit Margin Ratio
2019 Ratio:
-0.0328
2020 COVID Ratio:
-0.1241
Discussion/Analysis
As calculated from the financial reports, the 2019 net profit margin was -0.0328 (-67,383.69/2,055,025.55) and the 2020 net profit margin was calculated as -0.1241 (-166,662.80/1,343,216.41). The net profit margin was calculated by dividing net profit from net sales which is present on each year’s respective income statements. This demonstrates a further decrease of 278%. This movement can be explained by significant declines in both the Net Profit (from $-67,383.69 in 2019 to $-166,662.80 in 2020) and decline in Net Sales (from $2,055,025.55 in 2019 to $1,343,216.41 in 2020). Jezza’s Pizza’s net profit fell into greater loss as total expenses further increased beyond gross profit levels. This decline has been caused by a reduction in sales volume due to COVID-19 shutdowns which resulted in a cancellation of dine-ins and a move to take-
away only.
Gross Profit Margin Ratio
2019 Ratio:
0.4975
2020 COVID Ratio:
0.4193
Discussion/Analysis
The 2019 gross profit margin was 0.4975 (1,022,377.15/2,055,025.55) and the 2020 net profit margin was calculated as 0.4193 (563,264/1,343,216.41). The gross profit margin was calculated by dividing gross profit from net sales which is present on each year’s respective income statements. This demonstrates a decrease in the gross profit margin from 2019 to 2020 by 15.71%. This movement can be explained by significant declines in both the gross Profit (from $1,022,377.15 in 2019 to $563,264 in 2020) and decline in net sales (from $2,055,025.55 in 2019 to $1,343,216.41 in 2020). That is a reduction of 44.9% in gross profit and a 34.6% decrease in net sales, therefore leading to an overall reduced gross profit margin ratio. Jezza’s Pizza’s gross profit fell to a significant decline in gross sales revenue (from $2,062,528.55 in 2019 to $1,348,272.41 in 2020) due to many months of lockdown in response to the pandemic causing a major fall in sales.

Return on Assets Ratio
2019 Ratio:
-0.1145
2020 COVID Ratio:
-0.4119
Discussion/Analysis
The 2019 Return on Asset ratio was -0.1145 (-67,383.69/588,279.55) and the 2020 Return on Asset Ratio was calculated as -0.4119 (-166,662.80/404,579.99). The return on assets ratio was calculated by dividing net profit from total assets which is present on each year’s respective income statements
and balance sheets. This demonstrates a decrease in the return on assets ratio from 2019 to 2020 by
259.74%. This movement can be explained by significant declines in both the Net Profit (from $-67,383.69 in 2019 to $-166,662.80 in 2020) and a decline in total assets (from $588,279.55 in 2019 to $404,579.99 in 2020). That is a reduction of 147.3% in net profit and a 31.2% decrease in total assets, therefore leading to an overall reduced Return on Assets Ratio. Jezza’s Pizza’s s total current assets dropped 39.57% (430,500.39-260,150.83/430,500.39) and due to greater amounts of accumulated depreciation in 2020 on equipment, total non-current assets were reduced from $157,779.16 to $144,429.16, a 8.46% decrease. As a result of the pandemic, lockdowns caused havoc for the business, reducing total assets and increasing liabilities overall.
Return on Equity Ratio

-0.8156
2020 COVID Ratio:
