    Gross profit = $8,600

    Gross profit percentage = increase by 37.39%

    Explanation:

    The formula to compute the gross profit is shown below:

    = Sales revenue - the cost of goods sold

    Or

    = Sale value of merchandise - the cost of the merchandise

    = $23,000 - $14,400

    = $8,600

    The computation of the gross profit percentage is shown below:

    = (Gross profit : Sales revenue) * 100

    = ($8,600 : $23,000) * 100

    = 37.39%

    Hence, the gross profit is increased by 37.39%
