Operating expenses?

Answer 1

Gross Profit = $304,050

Operating expenses = $162,050

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of gross profit and operating expenses is shown below:-

Net purchases = Purchase - Purchase discounts - Purchase returns and allowances

= $505,500 - $7,250 - $3,500

= $494,750

Cost of goods sold = Net purchases + Freight-in + Inventory + Ending inventory

= $494,750 + $4,100 + $56,000 - $66,000

= $488,850

Gross profit = Net sales - Cost of goods sold

= ($810,000 - $5,100 - $12,000) - $488,850

= $304,050

Operating expenses = Gross profit - Net income

= $304,050 - $142,000

= $162,050
