Brooke Hicks · Answer 1

Gross Profit $23720

Gross profit percentage 39.323%

Explanation:

The discounts allowed are subtracted from the sales. Also the sales allowances are deducted in the income statement.

Purrfect Pets

Sales units 6100

Sales Price $10

Sales $ 24000

Less Sales Discounts (2% of 10) * 2400 (480)

Sales $ 23520

Add Sales without discount (6100-2400) * 10 $37000

Total Sales $ 60520

Less Sales Allowances (200)

Net Sales $ 60320

Less Purchases (6100 * 6) $ 36600

Gross Profit $23720

Gross profit percentage = Gross Profit / Sales * 100 %

Gross profit percentage = $23720 / $ 60320 * 100% = 39.323%
