The Callie Company has provided the following information: Operating expenses were $244,000; Cost of goods sold was $378,000; Net sales were $940,000; Interest expense was $47,000; Gain on sale of a building was $84,000; Income tax expense was $142,000. What was Callie's gross profit

Answer 1

Callie's Gross Profit is $562000

Step-by-step explanation:

Gross profit is the profit earned by a business after deducting the costs associated with producing or selling its goods (for manufacturing and trading businesses) or the costs associated with providing the services (for service businesses) from the net revenue.

It is the profit from the trading section of the business before deducting the operating and financing expenses of the business and before adding any other income.

The gross profit is simply calculated as follows,

Gross Profit = Net Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold

Callie's gross profit = 940000 - 378000

Callie's Gross Profit = 562000
