Transcribed Image Text:**QS 5-15 Computing and Analyzing Gross Margin Ratio**
Compute net sales, gross profit, and the gross margin ratio for each of the four separate companies. Interpret the gross margin ratio for Carrier.
| | Carrier | Lennox | Trane | York |
|----------------|----------|---------|--------|---------|
| Sales | $150,000 | $550,000| $38,700| $255,700|
| Sales discounts| 5,000 | 17,500 | 600 | 4,800 |
| Sales returns and allowances | 20,000 | 6,000 | 5,100 | 900 |
| Cost of goods sold | 79,750 | 329,589 | 24,453 | 126,500 |
In this table:
- **Sales** represent the total revenue generated from sales.
- **Sales discounts** are reductions in price given to customers.
- **Sales returns and allowances** account for returned or defective items.
- **Cost of goods sold** (COGS) is the direct cost of producing or purchasing the products sold.
To find the net sales, gross profit, and gross margin ratio:
1. **Net Sales** = Sales - Sales Discounts - Sales Returns and Allowances
2. **Gross Profit** = Net Sales - Cost of Goods Sold
3. **Gross Margin Ratio** = (Gross Profit / Net Sales) x 100
For interpretation, apply these calculations specifically to Carrier and analyze how efficiently it converts sales into profit, compared to other companies.
