Select one: A. $510,000 B. $489,600 C. $816,000 D. $850,000 E. $360,400

Answer 1

B. $489,600

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of thee gross profit is shown below:

= Net sales - Net cost of goods sold

where,

Net sales = Total sales - sales return

= $850,000 - $34,000

= $816,000

Net cost of goods sold = Cost of goods sold - merchandise return

= $340,000 - $13,600

= $326,400

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would be equal to

= $816,000 - $326,400

= $489,600
