ANTONII [103]

Answer:

It is $18,290.24

Explanation:

Profit after Tax (65%) = addition to retained earnings+dividend paid

                                   = $411 +  $285

                                    = $ 696

Profit before Tax = [100/65] * $ 696

                            = $1070.76

Tax (35%)             = 35% * $1070.76

                            = $374.77

Gross Profit = Profit before tax + Total expenses

                    = $1070.76 + [  $4,370+ $103+ $812]

                    = $6355.76

Cost of Sales= $24,646 -$6355.76

                     = $18,290.24 .

Note

-Dividend is paid is paid from profit after tax
