GalinKa [24]

Answer:

COGS = $156800 ; Opereating Expenses = $223500 ; Gross Profit =      $125300

Explanation:

COGS is direct manufacturing/ production expenses on goods produced. Operating Expenses includes all expenses (direct manufacturing & indirect sale expenses). Gross Profit is the excess of Net Sales over COGS

Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Stock + Net Purchases + Direct Expenses - Closing Stock

= 0+ [Wood purchases +Account Payable (credit purchase)] + [stain + labour costs (mantainence and carpenters) + factory utility costs+ manfacturing overhead] + 0

=  57800 +7100 + 12700 + 21300 + 36900 + 11200 + 9800

= 156800  

Gross Profit = Net Sales - COGS

= [Sales Revenue + Accounts Receivables] - COGS

= 255000 + 27100 - 156800

= 125300

Opereating Expenses = Direct Expenses + Indirect Expenses

= [Wood purchases +Account Payable (credit purchase)+ stain + labour costs (mantainence and carpenters) + factory utility costs+ manfacturing overhead] + [Staff Salaries & Wages + Administrative Rent & Utilities + Marketing Costs]

=  57800 +7100 + 12700 + 21300 + 36900 + 11200 + 9800 + 37400 + 12000 + 17300

= 223500

{COGS is direct manufacturing/ production expenses on goods produced} {Opereating Expenses includes all expenses (direct manufacturing & indirect sale expenses)}

{Gross Profit is the excess of Net Sales over COGS
