Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gross profit is calculated as Sales Revenue minus Cost of Goods Sold (COGS). COGS is calculated as: Beginning Inventory + Purchases - Ending Inventory = $14,000 + $126,000 - $10,000 = $130,000. Gross Profit = Sales Revenue - COGS = $250,000 - $130,000 = $120,000. Gross Profit Percentage = (Gross Profit / Sales Revenue) * 100 = ($120,000 / $250,000) * 100 = 48%.
