c. $240,500 and 74%, respectively.
d. $83,500 and 74%, respectively.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gross profit equals net sales minus cost of sales(Net sales- Cost of Sales).

Net sales = $325,000

Cost of Sales = $240,500

Therefore we have;

$325,000 - $240,500

=$84,500

Gross profit ratio is (Gross profit/net sales) x 100%

($84,500 x $325,000) x 100%

26%
