Gross Profit Percentage measures what percentage of revenue is converted to gross profit. Although they managed to remain stagnant in this category, that is not something that is ideal.

Gross profit percentage for Walgreens is 28%.

H. Rate of Return on Net Sales: This ratio is used to find profit made per dollar sale. Company G ascended its percentage (5.43% to 6.13%). Average for the industry is a 4.60% according to Yahoo Finance. Last quartile industry data shows 7.55%, above Company G ratio. Rate of Return on Net Sales is of no concern for Company G.

In this paper I will analyze two articles, one is quantitative and the other is qualitative. I will describe the quantitative methods used including the research question addressed, the hypothesis, and variables. I will identify the population and sample. I will discuss the reliability and validity of the instruments used. I will then discuss the design of the article and how the findings were analyzed. For the qualitative article, I will identify the design of the article, the methods used and the strategies used for analyzing the data. Lastly, I will look at the implications for practice in the qualitative article, discuss other journals that might be interested in publishing the article and discuss how this article might

together with the same reactants used before. Thirdly, mix 0.1M Na2SO4 with those reactants. Then, mix 0.1M NaOH with the same reactants used before again.

This paper is a critical analysis of two academic papers: McKeown, J., Ryan, T., Ingleton, C., and Clarke, A., 2015, ‘You have to be mindful of whose story it is ': The challenges of undertaking life story work with people with dementia and their families. Dementia, (Qualitative) and Milne, A., Guss, R., and Russ, A., 2014, Psycho-educational support for relatives of people with a recent diagnosis of mild to moderate dementia: An evaluation of a ‘Course for Carers '. Dementia. (Quantitative) These papers have been selected as they embrace contrasting research strategies on Dementia- qualitative and quantitative. The main aim of this analysis is to underline the positive/negative facts in the academic papers in terms of the

This paper offers a critical reflection and analysis of my genogram. My family consists of two completely different families thrown together who coexist together without much intermingling. When viewed as one unit, I would describe my family as a loose knit, hardworking, Black middle-class, southern, Christian family. I use the term loose knit because my family is not close at all. We can go months without talking to or seeing each other and there is nothing wrong with that. There have been many times I have been in conversation with family friends and find out information about my family because we do not interact with family members often. The anchor that each of us is close to is our mother, Sandra Smith-Graves.

Gross Profit Rate: The average year on year increase in gross profit rate over the past 10 years was 19.85% (Annexure 2, Table). This indicator peaked in 1999 at 32.54% and gradually reduced over the past 6 years and ended at 11.83% for the 2005 financial year which is the lowest over the last 9 years. This is of major concern as it seams that the company can’t stop the deterioration in the gross profit rate.

Roce could further be analyzed through two main ratios which are operating margin and asset turnover.

Gross profit is defined as the difference between Sales and Cost of Sales. The gross margin (or gross profit ratio) expresses the gross profit as a proportion of net sales. The gross profit margin ratio measures how efficiently a company uses its resources, materials, and labour in the production process by showing the percentage of net sales remaining after subtracting the cost of making and selling a product or service. It indicates the profitability of a business before overhead costs. The higher the percentage, the more the business retains of each dollar of sales. So: the higher the gross profit margin ratio, the better.

The study at hand aimed to investigate the aspects that lead individuals to join a gang, the reasons as to why they decided to part ways with it, and the consequences that resulted from their affiliation. Through the analysis of interviews and observations, several themes were noticeable such as the initiation to the gang, desistance, consequences, and services offered to help reintegrate into society. Former gang members expressed and constantly mentioned their childhood having a major part in the decisions they made which ultimately lead to them being “jumped “into a gang. Some of the reasons this occurred so frequently among so many individuals was partly due to constant profiling, problematic relationships with many of them being at home, or the social environment they found themselves being surrounded by.

The return on equity ratio measures how well a company is using its owner 's investments to generate after tax profits. Investors like to see a high return on equity since it indicates the company is using the owner 's investments efficiently to generate after tax profits, (Schermehorn, J, et al, 2004). Different industries requires different percentage of return on equity as some industries need to generate high return on the basis that less capital is invested, (Palepu et al. 2010). Return on equity has increased from 3.39% in 2011 to 5.46% in 2012 this is consistent with the growth strategy and cost efficiency strategy. However the strategic cost played a significant part in the lower net income of 2011 for example even though the total equity increased by 4.70% it is not as large as the 68.44% increase in the profit after tax. Return on equity has three parts; operation efficiency, assets used efficiency and equity multiplier.

Rate of Return on equity measures a corporation 's profitability by revealing how much profit a company generates with the money shareholders have invested. It indicates how efficiently the business uses its investment funds. For Tesco, Rate of Return on Shareholders’ Fund has increased from 13.85% in 2004 to 14.91% in 2009. This shows an improvement of 1.06% in five years period. When one examines the Sainsbury’s Rate of Return on Shareholders’ Fund, there is an increase from 7.76% to 8.36%. There is a 0.6% growth in the Rate of Return on Shareholders’ Fund. In comparison with Tesco, Sainsbury’s Rate of Return on Shareholders’ Fund is lower. Shareholders earned 13.85% from their investment (measured in book value

Profitability ratios are basically figures to measure if the company is doing well in the terms of profit[13]. ROCE ratio has increased in 2011 but in 2012 it deteriorates by 3%. This fall indicates that company was not successfully getting high returns as a percentage of its resources available, compared to 2011.

Return on Capital Employed is a profit measurement tool that demonstrates the profit generated by the company from its gross assets. Although Tesco could not performed as planned in UK but still the ROCE is increased, discontinuing its operations in Japan helped getting better result (TESCO, 2012 http://www.tescoplc.com/files/reports/ar2012/index.asp?pageid=20 ).

One of the most important profitability metrics is return on equity. Return on equity reveals how much profit a company earned in comparison to the total amount of shareholder equity. It’s what the shareholders “own”. A business that has a high return on equity is more likely to be one that is capable of generating cash internally. For the most part, the higher a company’s return on equity compared to its industry, the better.
