Answer:
Answer is A
Explanation:
Remember Gross Margin = Gross Profit /Sales Revenue
We already know that Gross Margin = 0.4
We assume sales revenue as the unknown value (S)
Using the relationship above: Gross Profit (GP) = 0.4S
We know that Profit Before Tax = Gross Profit - General & Admin Expenses - Interest Expense
Substitute the values in the equation above.
Profit Before Tax (PBT) = 0.4S - 50 - 20
= 0.4S - 70
To calculate the Tax we multiply the Tax rate (30%) by the PBT
Tax = (0.3) x (0.4S -70)
= 0.12S - 21
We know that Net Income = PBT - Tax
We now substitute the values:
70 = 0.4S - 70 - (0.12S - 21)
Solving the equation for S results in the value of Sales Revenue equaling $425.
