Callie's Gross Profit is $562000

Explanation:

Gross profit is the profit earned by a business after deducting the costs associated with producing or selling its goods (for manufacturing and trading businesses) or the costs associated with providing the services (for service businesses) from the net revenue.

It is the profit from the trading section of the business before deducting the operating and financing expenses of the business and before adding any other income.

The gross profit is simply calculated as follows,

Gross Profit = Net Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold

Callie's gross profit = 940000 - 378000

Callie's Gross Profit = 562000
