Explanation:

Net Sales:

2016: Net Sales of 2017 - Net Sales of 2016 = $336,000 - $300,000 =$36,000

2017: Net Sales of 2018 - Net Sales of 2017 = $355,000 - $336,000 = $19,000

Percentage Change in Net Sales:

2016: ($336,000 - $300,000) / $300,000 = 12%

2017: ($355,000 - $336,000) / $336,000 = 5.7%

Cost of Goods Sold:

2016: COGS of 2017 - COGS of 2016 = $206,000 - $186,000 =$20,000

2017: COGS of 2018 - COGS of 2017 = $214,000 - $206,000 = $19,000

Percentage Change in Cost of Goods Sold:

2016: $20,000 / $186,000 = 10.8%

2017: $19,000 / $206,000 = 9.2%

Gross Profit:

2016: Gross Profit of 2017 - Gross Profit of 2016 = $130,000 - $114,000 =$16,000

2017: Gross Profit of 2018 - Gross Profit of 2017 = $141,000 - $130,000 = $11,000

Percentage Change in Gross Profit:

2016: $16,000 / $186,000 = 8.6%

2017: $11,000 / $206,000 = 5.3%
