calculate the gross profit ratio when cash sales :25% of total sales ; purchase RS 276000 credit sales RS 240000; excess of closing stock over opening stock : RS 20000
COGS = PURCHASES - EXCESS OF C.STOCK OVER O.STOCK.
COGS= 276000- 20000 = 256000.
LET the total sales be x
cash sales = 1/4 of x
total sales = cash sales + credit sales
x = 1/4 x + 240000.
3/4 x =240000
x= 320000
Gross profit = total sales - COGS = 320000-256000=64000.
Gross profit ratio = gross profit/ total sales x 100= 64000/320000 x 100 = 0.2 x 100 = 20 %
Hope it is useful :)
