What is the profit margin for year 2?

Explanation / Answer

Hi,


Please find the answer as follows:


Gross Profit Margin = (Sales - Cost of Goods Sold)/Sales*100 = (478500 - 276300)/478500*100 = 42.26%


Net Profit Margin = Net Income After Taxes/Sales* 100 = 46050/478500*100 = 9.6238 of 9.62%


Thanks.
