Answer: $8750

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of gross margin that resulted from these business events will be calculated as:

Purchase = $10000

Less: Purchase discount = $10000 × 2% = $200

Add: Freight paid = $450

Total purchase = $10250

Gross margin = Sales - Total Purchases

= $19000 - $10250

= $8750
