The net profit is

Answer Details

To calculate the net profit, we need to determine the Gross Profit first and then subtract the expenses from it. Follow these steps:


1. Calculate Cost of Goods Sold (COGS):
  • Opening Stock: #2200
  • Add Purchases: #18000
  • Less Closing Stock: #1000

COGS = 2200 + 18000 - 1000 = #19,200


2. Calculate Gross Profit:
  • Sales: #27000
  • Less COGS: #19200

Gross Profit = 27000 - 19200 = #7,800


3. Calculate Total Expenses:
  • Salaries: #1500
  • Rejection in doubtful debts: #500
  • Office expenses: #1100
  • Other expenses: #1300

Total Expenses = 1500 + 500 + 1100 + 1300 = #4,400


4. Calculate Net Profit:
  • Net Profit = Gross Profit - Total Expenses
  • Net Profit = 7800 - 4400

Net Profit = #3,400


Therefore, the net profit is #3,400.
