Answer 1

Answer:

Gross profit= $54,700

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchases $37,000

Merchandise inventory, September 1 6,100

Merchandise inventory, September 30 6,800

Sales 91,000

First, we need to calculate the cost of goods sold:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods purchased - ending finished inventory

COGS= 6,100 + 37,000 - 6,800

COGS= $36,300

Now, the gross profit:

Gross profit= sales - COGS

Gross profit= 91,000 - 36,300

Gross profit= $54,700
