What is the amount of gross profit earned by Abbey Co. on the above transactions?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$7,972

Explanation:

total invoice = $35,000

- returned merchandise = $3,600

net sales = $35,000 - $3,600 = $31,400

- sales discount =  $628

net amount received = $30,772

cost of goods sold = $24,500

- COGS of returned goods = $1,700

net cost of goods sold = $22,800

gross profit earned by Abbey Co. = net amount received - net COGS = $30,772 - $22,800 = $7,972
