What was the gross profit?

Answer Details
To calculate the gross profit, we need to subtract the cost of goods sold (COGS) from the total revenue (sales). COGS represents the cost of the products that were sold during the period, and it is calculated as: COGS = Opening stock + Purchases - Closing stock In this case, the values are: COGS = ₦20,000 + ₦70,000 - ₦15,000 = ₦75,000 Total revenue (sales) is given as ₦100,000. Therefore, the gross profit can be calculated as: Gross profit = Total revenue - COGS = ₦100,000 - ₦75,000 = ₦25,000 Hence, the answer is option (D) ₦25,000.
