Explanation / Answer

Working Note

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

Transaction COGS ($) Sales ($) Sales Returns & Allowances ($) Sales Discount ($) a 152,590 276,700 b. (810) 1,610 c. 9,450 21,000 d. 21,000 * 50 % * 2 % = 210 e 1,820 Total $161,230 $297,700 $3,430 $210
