If the gross profit is 20% of net sales, the gross sales for the month of march 2012 is????
:( plss help me
Gross Sales = 13,90,000
Here's how it is solved:
GP is 20% on sales that means 25% of cost of goods sold
COGS = Op. Stock + (Purchase - return outwards) + Carriage Inwards - Closing Stock
COGS = 60000 + 1120000 - 30000 + 10000 -80000
COGS = 1080000
GP = 1080000 * 0.25
GP = 270000
Since GP is 20% of net sales
Net sales = 270000/20%
Net Sales = 1350000
Gross Sales = Net Sales + Return Inwards
Gross Sales = 1350000 + 40000
Gross Sales = 1390000
