| kalps | Op Expense ratio = operating expenses / Net Sales GP = Gross profit / Net Sales |
| carlos3 | ROA = (Net Income + Interest(1-t))/Average total Assets Sad Saturday night for a 25 years old boy. |
| danlan | OP expense ratio is not gross profit/net sales. Rather we have gross profit/net sales=(net sales-OP expense)/net sales=1-OP expense ratio |
| faya | gross profit = sales - COGS op ex = sales - COGS - SG&A expense So GP rate is not equal to OP EX ratio |
| johntan1979 | Careful now! COGS is not op exp, neither is sales. Op exp = SG&A exp Op exp ratio = SG&A / Sales |
| mlaique | Operating Expense Ratio: EBIT / Sales Gross Profit Ratio: Gross Profit / Sales |
I am happy to say that I passed! Your study notes certainly helped prepare me for what was the most difficult exam I had ever taken.
