Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gross profit is calculated as Sales Revenue minus Cost of Goods Sold (COGS). COGS is calculated as Beginning Finished Goods Inventory plus Cost of Goods Manufactured minus Ending Finished Goods Inventory. Thus, COGS = $17,000 + $11,600 - $7,500 = $21,100. Gross Profit = $27,000 - $21,100 = $5,900.
