From the following information, calculate Gross Profit Ratio:

 ParticularsAmount
(Rs.)
 ParticularsAmount
(Rs.)
 Credit Sales5,00,000 Decrease in Inventory10,000
 Purchases3,00,000 Returns Outward10,000
 Carriage Inwards10,000 Wages50,000

Rate of Credit Sale to Cash Sale 4: 1

SOLUTION

Credit Sale =  Rs. 5,00,000
Rate of Credit Sale to Cash Sale = 4: 1
Cash Sale = 14 × 5,00,000 
=  Rs. 1,25,000

Total Sales = Cash Sales + Credit Sales
= 1,25,000 + 5,00,000
= Rs. 6,25,000

Cost of Goods Sold = Purchases – Return Outward + Carriage Inwards + Wages + Decrease in Inventory
= 3,00,000 – 10,000 + 10,000 + 50,000 + 10,000
= Rs. 3,60,000

Gross Profit = Total Sales – Cost of Goods Sold
= 6,25,000 – 3,60,000
= Rs. 2,65,000

Gross Profit Ratio = Gross Profit / Net Sales × 100 
= 2,65,000 / 6,25,000 × 100 
= 42.40%
