Question

Heller Company offers an unconditional return policy to its customers. During the current period, the company records total sales of $850,000, with a cost of merchandise to Heller of $340,000. Based on past experience, Heller Company expects 4% of sales to be returned. How much gross profit will Heller Company recognize for the current period?

Answer 1

Answer:

$489,600

Explanation:

Given that,

Total sales = $850,000,

Cost of merchandise to Heller = $340,000

Heller Company expects 4% of sales to be returned

Sales:

= Total sales - Sales returned

= $850,000 - (4% of $850,000)

= $816,000

Cost of goods sold:

= cost of merchandise - (4% of cost of merchandise)

= $340,000 - (4% of $340,000)

= $326,400

Gross Profit:

= Sales - Cost of Good Sold

= $816,000 - $326,400

= $489,600

Therefore, the Heller company will recognize $489,600 of gross profit in the current period.
