Answer 1

Answer:

gross profit rate = 40%

for every dolalr of sales after paying the goods there is left 40 cents

profit margin: 12%

for every dollar of sales 12 cents are left as profit

Explanation:

Swifty Corporation reported:

net sales                         260,000

cost of goods sold          156,000

operating expenses         (63,000)

net income                        31,200

gross profit rate:

$\frac{sales-COGS}{sales} =\frac{gross \: profit}{sales}$

gross profit: 260,000 - 156,000 = 104,000

104,000 / 260,000 = 40%

profit margin:

$\frac{income}{sales}$

31,200/260,000 = 0.12 = 12%
