Purrfect Pets

Sales units 6100

Sales Price $10

Sales                                                                          $ 24000

Less Sales Discounts (2% of 10) *2400                       (480)

Sales                                                                           $ 23520

Add Sales without discount (6100-2400)*10              $37000

Total Sales                                                                   $ 60520

Less Sales Allowances                                                 (200)

Net Sales                                                                      $ 60320

Less Purchases (6100* 6)                                            $ 36600

Gross Profit                                                                     $23720                  

Gross profit percentage= Gross Profit /Sales *100 %

Gross profit percentage= $23720    / $ 60320* 100%= 39.323%
