Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gross profit is calculated as sales revenue minus the cost of goods sold. The sales revenue from Job A-12 and Job A-13 is $125,000 + $210,000 = $335,000. The cost of goods sold for these jobs is $120,000 + $200,000 = $320,000. Therefore, the gross profit is $335,000 - $320,000 = $15,000.
