Gross Profit Margin

Categories: Accounting, Metrics

See: Gross Profit. See: Margin.

Margin is a metric, a calculation, a fraction. To get to it, you take gross profits in the numerator and you put revenues in the denominator. So if you did, in fact, see: Gross Profit like we asked (and if you didn't, go back and look at that fine definition...it took over 40 human-years to craft, and cost over a million dollars), then you'll note that the gross margin of the nostril tweezer company was 74.2%. Lotta margin for a lotta nostril.
