For each company, calculate the gross profit ratio.

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the gross profit ratio for each company is shown below:

As we know that

Gross profit ratio is

= Gross profit ÷ sales revenue

= (Sales revenue - cost of goods sold) ÷ sales revenue

For henry

= ($38,000 - $13,000) ÷ ($38,000)

= 66%

For grace

= ($41,000 - $27,880) ÷ ($41,000)

= 32%

For James

= ($46,000 - $27,600) ÷ ($46,000)

= 40%
