Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The journal entries are shown below:

Accounts Receivable $700

To Sales Revenue $700

(Being the sales revenue is recorded)

Cost of Goods Sold $450

To Inventory $450

(being the cost of goods sold is recorded)

Sales Revenue $175 ($700 × 1 ÷ 4)

To Accounts Receivable $175

(Being return inventory is recorded)

Inventory $110

To Cost of Goods Sold $110

(Being return inventory is recorded)

Cash $525

To Accounts Receivable $525

(being cash received)

Now the gross profit percentage is

Gross Profit Percentage 35.23%

= (Gross Profit ÷ Net Income)

= ($700 - $175 - $450 + 110) ÷ ($700 - $175)

= 35.23%
