The net to gross ratio is used by businesses to determine the amount of profit made compared to the operating costs of the business. This ratio also allows business owners to determine reasonable reductions in sales prices. The reason for using this ratio when deciding to lower sale prices is simple: if the ratio is too low, money will be lost instead of profit gained.
