Return on Sales (ROS) is a financial ratio that measures a company’s operational efficiency by calculating the percentage of revenue that translates into operating profit. It is derived by dividing operating profit by net sales, providing insight into how effectively a company converts sales into profits. ROS accounting is crucial for assessing profitability and operational performance. A higher ROS indicates better cost management and pricing strategies.
