Working Note:

Determine the amount of pretax income.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Pretax income}=\text{Net income after tax}+\text{Income tax expense}\\ =\$115+\$65\\ =\$180\end{array}$ (1)

Determine the amount of gross margin.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Gross margin}=\text{ Pretax income}+\text{Selling expense}+\text{Administrative expense}\\ =\$180\left(1\right)+\$90+\$200\\ =\$470\end{array}$ (2)

Determine the amount of cost of goods sold.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Cost of goods sold}=\text{Sales revenue}-\text{Gross margin}\\ =\$770-\$470\left(2\right)\\ =\$300\end{array}$ (3)

Determine the amount of sales revenue.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Sales revenue}=\text{Gross margin}+\text{Cost of goods sold}\\ =\$880+\$320\\ =\$1,200\end{array}$ (4)

Determine the amount of pretax income.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Pretax income}=\text{Net income after tax}+\text{Income tax expense}\\ =\$275+\$210\\ =\$485\end{array}$ (5)

Determine the amount of gross margin.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Gross margin}=\text{ Pretax income}+\text{Selling expense}+\text{Administrative expense}\\ =\$150+\$45+\$80\\ =\$275\end{array}$ (6)

Determine the amount of sales revenue.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Sales revenue}=\text{Gross margin}+\text{Cost of goods sold}\\ =\$275\left(6\right)+\$125\\ =\$400\end{array}$ (7)

Determine the amount of net income.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Net income}=\text{Pretax income}-\text{ Income tax expense}\\ =\$150-\$60\\ =\$90\end{array}$ (8)

Determine the amount of gross margin.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Gross margin}=\text{Sales revenue}-\text{Cost of goods sold}\\ =\$600-\$250\\ =\$350\end{array}$ (9)

Determine the amount of administrative expense.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Administrative expense}=\text{Gross margin}-\text{Selling expense}-\text{ Pretax income}\\ =\$350\left(9\right)-\$70-\$130\\ =\$150\end{array}$ (10)

Determine the amount of net income.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Net income}=\text{Pretax income}-\text{ Income tax expense}\\ =\$130-\$45\\ =\$85\end{array}$ (11)

Determine the amount of cost of goods sold.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Cost of goods sold}=\text{ Sales revenue}-\text{Gross margin}\\ =\$1,050-\$630\\ =\$420\end{array}$ (12)
