Question
![(a) Net Sales = $ Gross Sales - $ Customer Returns
= $583,260 - ($583,260 x 8.65%)
= $583,260 - $50,452
= $532,808
(b) Cost of Merchandise Sold % = Net Sales% - Gross Margin%
= 100.00% - 51.65%
= 48.35%
(c) Cost of Merchandise Sold = $ Net Sales x Cost of Merchandise Sold%
= $532,808 x 48.35%
= $257,613
(d) Gross Margin = $ Net Sales - $ Cost of Merchandise Sold
= $532,808 - $257,613
= $275,195
(e) Profit = $ Gross Margin - $ Expenses
= $275,195 - $251,870
= $23,325
Corresponding Percent:
() Expense % = $ Expenses + $ Net Sales
= $251,870 + $532,808
= 47,27%
(g) Profit % = $ Profit + $ Net Sales
= $23,325 + $532,808
= 4.38%
