Liquidity and profitability (L & P) is one of the most important factors of interest to commercial and industrial institutions in all sectors. Through its indicators, companies can measure the extent of their progress and sustainability in the commercial market, as well as know about aspects that need more attention in the present and future aspects of marketing, sales and logistics.
