The GPM of the business is fairly high as for each 100$ od sales, 62$ is gross profit
which means it will make it easier for the business to pay its expenses. However the
NPM is fairly low therefore showing the firms profitability being low.
The liquidity ratio is fairly good as its number as its in the safety margin for the firm.
