Solution

  1. Cash Sale vs Credit Sale: A cash sale is a transaction where payment is made immediately at the time of sale. The customer pays for the goods or services at the point of purchase. On the other hand, a credit sale is a transaction where the customer is allowed to pay for the goods or services at a later date. This is usually documented through an invoice.

  2. The formula to calculate profit or loss is: Profit/Loss = Total Revenue - Total Expenses.

  3. To calculate the gross profit for the business, subtract the cost of goods sold from the sales. In this case, the gross profit would be 100(sales)100 (sales) - 60 (cost of goods sold) = $40. The cost of goods sold is treated as an expense because it is the cost incurred to produce the goods sold by the business. It is an outflow of resources from the business and hence, considered an expense.
