Gross margin % Drug sales = (drug sales – drug cost of goods sold)/drug sales
Gross margin % Nondrug sales = (nondrug sales – nondrug cost of goods sold)/nondrug sales
2019
Gross margin % Drug sales = (4913-2815)/4913 =42.7%
Gross margin % Nondrug sales = (8887-5990)/8887 =32.6%
2018
Gross margin % Drug sales = (4805-2672)/4805 = 44.4%
Gross margin % Nondrug sales = (7595-5119)/7595 = 32.6%
2017
Gross margin % Drug sales = (4524-2529)/4524 = 44.1%
Gross margin % Nondrug sales = (6376-4304)/6376 = 48.1%
2016
Gross margin % Drug sales = (4444-2480)/4444 = 44.2%
Gross margin % Nondrug sales = (5656-3829)/5656 = 32.3%
The explanation given by Margie Avell is correct in part, but appears to be overstated.The gross margin percentage is approximately consistent in case of nondrugs whereas the percent dropped significantly in the current year, far more than the industry decline. The percent had been extremely stable before 2019. In dollars, the difference is approximately $83521 ((44.4%-42.7%)*4913000), which appears to be significant. The decline in Johnson’s prices may be greater than the industry due to exceptional competition.
Part B
As the auditor, you cannot accept Avell's explanation if $83521 is material. The decline in gross margin could be due to several reasons like
- understatement of drug inventory
- theft of drug inventory
- understated sales
It is essential to determine if the decline is due to competitive factors or to a misstatement of income
