Sales ( 5,400 × $11)                                             59,400

Less Discount Allowed (2,600×$11×3%)            (   858)

Less Sales Allowances $220                             (   220)

Net Sales                                                             58,322

Less Cost of Goods Sold

Opening Stock                                     0

Add Purchases (5,400 × $2)         10,800

Less Closing Stock                              0           (10,800)

Gross Profit                                                         47,522

gross profit percentage for the month

gross profit percentage = gross profit / sales × 100

                                         =  47,522/ 58,322 × 100

                                         = 81.48%

The gross profit for the month is $47,522 and gross profit percentage for the month is 81.48%.
