Gross profit is calculated as sales revenue minus the cost of goods sold (COGS). COGS includes direct materials, direct labor, and overhead. Direct materials cost $2.50, direct labor cost $3.00, and overhead is 30% of direct labor ($3.00 * 0.30 = $0.90). Total COGS is $2.50 + $3.00 + $0.90 = $6.40. Gross profit is $8.00 (sales) - $6.40 (COGS) = $1.60.
