                        Atlanta       Phoenix

Fixed Cost      $80,000     $140,000

Variable cost  400,000      320,000

Annual Demand        20,000        20,000

Vince’s Vehicle Repairs has a gross profit margin of 60% and a net profit margin of 22%. Turnover was £180000. Calculate:
sammy [17]

Answer:

Vince's Vehicle Repairs

The Cost of Sales is:

= $72,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Turnover = $180,000

Gross profit margin = 60%

Net profit margin = 22%

Gross profit margin = Gross profit/Turnover * 100

60% = Gross Profit/$180,000 * 100

Therefore, the Gross Profit = $180,000 * 60%

Gross Profit = $108,000

Cost of sales = Turnover - Gross profit (100% - 60%)

Cost of sales = $180,000 - $108,000

= $72,000

Alternatively, Cost of Sales:

= $180,000 * (100% - 60%)

= $72,000
