When operating with a 7.6% profit margin, your cost of goods sold will be $10,000 as long as your sales exceed $10,000. With a 7.6% profit margin, every additional $10,000 in sales increases your pre-tax profits by $10,000, while every $10,000 saved in purchasing increases your pre-tax profits by just $760. If your profit margin is 7.6%, every $10,000 saved in purchasing lowers your COGS sold by $760.arrow_forwardconstruct a cash flow diagram for a company that makes self-clinching fasteners expects to purchase new production-line equipment in 3 years.
