Gross Profit Percentage

Answer 1

1) Calculate following

Sales revenue (75200+16000)	91200
Less: Sales return and allowance (900+256)	-1156
Net Sales	90044

Cost of goods sold = 40797+7600-540 = 47857

Gross profit = Sales-Cost of goods sold = 90044-47857 = 42187

Gross profit percentage = Gross profit/Net Sales = 42187/90044 = 46.9%
