Solution
To answer these questions, we need to follow these steps:
2-a. To calculate the gross profit, we first need to find the total sales. This is done by adding the cash sales to the credit sales and then subtracting the sales returns and allowances.
Total Sales = Cash Sales + Credit Sales - Sales Returns and Allowances Total Sales = 44,000 - 286,650
Next, we subtract the cost of goods sold from the total sales to find the gross profit.
Gross Profit = Total Sales - Cost of Goods Sold Gross Profit = 170,000 = $116,650
So, the dollar amount of gross profit is $116,650.
2-b. The gross profit percentage is calculated by dividing the gross profit by the total sales and then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.
Gross Profit Percentage = (Gross Profit / Total Sales) * 100 Gross Profit Percentage = (286,650) * 100 = 40.7%
So, the gross profit percentage is 40.7%.
