Answer 1
Sales Revenue = $297,700 [refer working note above]
Net Sales = Sales Revenue - Sales Returns & Allowances - Sales Discount
= $297,700 - $3,430 - $210 = $294,060
Gross Profit = Net Sales - COGS = $294,060 - $161,230 = $132,830
Answer 2
Gross Profit Percentage = [ Gross Profit / Net Sales]* 100 = [$132,830 / $294,060] *100 = 45.17 %
Answer 3
Total Net sales after additional sales = $294,060 + $16,000 = $310,060
COGS after additional sales = $161,230 + $12,500 = $173,730
New Gross Profit amount = $310,060 - $173,730 = $136,330
New Gross Profit Percentage = [$136,330 / $310,060] * 100 = 43.97 %
Impact on gross profit amount = $136,330 - $132,830 = $3,500 increase
Impact on gross profit percentage = 43.97 % - 45.17 % = 1.2 % decrease
