Given the following data, find maintained margin in dollars and percent: (The answers are $5,000 and 50%, I just don't know how to get there.)
Net Sales $10,000
Billed cost of goods $ 4,500
Freight $ 500
Alt/Wkrm $ 500
Cash Discounts $ 400
What is gross margin for same data? (The answers are $4,900; 49%, I just don't know how to get there.)
Maintained margin: it is the difference between the products cost and its selling price.
Here selling price = $10,000
Product cost = Billed cost of goods + freight cost = $5000
Maintained margin = 10000 - (4500+500) = $5000
Hence maintained margin percent = 5000/10000 = 50%
Gross Margin: the difference between the products selling price and its cost of goods sold(whatever costs associated with bringing it upto the point of selling)
Cost of goods sold = Billed cost of goods + freight cost + alt/wkrm-cash discount = $5100 (since cash discount is decrease )
Hence gross margin = 10000 -5100 = $4900
Hence gross margin = 4900/10000 = 49%
