The net profit margin is calculated as follows:

Net Profit / Sales

We know the net profit margin is 22% and sales is £180000, so we can calculate the net profit:

Net Profit = 22% * £180000

Net Profit = £39600

Gross profit is calculated as follows:

Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)

We know the gross profit margin is 60% and sales is £180000, so we can calculate the gross profit:

Gross Profit = 60% * £180000

Gross Profit = £108000

The COGS can then be calculated as follows:

COGS = Sales - Gross Profit

COGS = £180000 - £108000

COGS = £72000

The other expenses are calculated as follows:

Other Expenses = COGS - Net Profit

Other Expenses = £72000 - £39600

Other Expenses = £32400

So the other expenses for VINCE’s Vehicle Repairs are £32400.
