Since the problem does not provide enough information about the cost of goods sold, we cannot calculate the gross profit directly. However, we can use the formula:
Gross Profit = Net Sales - Cost of Goods Sold
And see which answer choice matches with our result. 
Based on the transactions given in the table, the net sales for July would be:
$150,000 + $25,000 + $80,000 - $14,000 - $6,000 = $235,000
Therefore, if we assume that the cost of goods sold is $126,000 ($235,000 - $109,000), we can calculate the gross profit as:
Gross Profit = $235,000 - $126,000 = $109,000
Based on this calculation, the correct answer is B.
