Explanation:

Gross Margin is an indicator of whether a company is running an efficient operation and if its sales are good enough

The formula for calculating gross margin ratio is

Total revenue - cost of goods sold : total revenue x 100

Total revenue = $752,000,

Cost of goods sold = $543,000

therefore gross margin ratio

$752,000 - $543,000 = $209,000

$209,000 : $752,000 = 0.2779

0.2779 * 100 = 27.79 ≅ 27.8%
