Hi , can any one throw some light on the problem mentioned below:- Sales 350000,Purchases -300000,wages -10000,opening stock is 10000 less then closing stock. Find the gross profit ratio. I am using the formula : Op st. + purchases + wages + gross profit = Sales + closing stock. Assuming closing stock as y and gross profit as x which gives me 14.27%. But when i substitute the value of x in the equation i am not getting proper answer. Please guide me as to whether the modus operandi followed by me is correct.

GP ratio is 14.2857%. Sales+closing stock=opening stock+purchase+wages+profit. Also given that opening is less than closing stock by 10000. It means closing-opening=10000. Substitute the amounts. You will get the ans. Profit =50000
