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%
