The gross profit as a percentage of net sales is​ ________. (Round your answer to two decimal​ places.)

Answer:

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales = 0.4147 or 41.47%

Explanation:

The gross profit is a profit earned by a business through its trading activity. It is calculated by deducting the cost of goods sold from the net sales revenue and it is the profit earned by a business before deducting any operating and non operating expenses of the business.

Gross profit = Net Sales - Cost of goods sold

Gross Profit = 598000 - 350000   = $248000

The gross profit as a percentage of net sales is,

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales = Gross profit / Net Sales

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales = 248000 / 598000

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales = 0.4147 or 41.47%
