In: Accounting
Sales = 11996.6
COGS = 7695
Profit = 4302
If the company wants to increase the profit by 10% what should the sales and cogs be?
If the company wants to increase the profits by 10% then sales and cost of goods sold (COGS) should also be increased by 10%.
Let's prove it -
Profit after 10% increase is $4,731.76 ($4,301.6*110/100)
* Profit is $4,301.6 = $11,996.6 - $7,695
Sales after 10% increase is $13,196.26 ($11,996.6*110/100)
Cost of goods sold (COGS) after 10% increase is $8,464.50 ($7,695*110/100).
Therefore, profit is $4,731.76 ($13,196.26 - $8,464.50).
Thus, the sales are $13,196.26 and COGS is $8,464.50 when profits increases by 10%.
