Respuesta :

Answer:

$7,473

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the amount of gross margin that results from these transactions

First step is to calculate COGS

COGS=$16,100-($16,100 * 0.03)+$610

COGS=$16,100-$483+$610

COGS=$16,227

Now let calculate the Gross margin

Using this formula

Gross margin = Sales revenue - COGS

Let plug in the formula

Gross margin=$23,700 - $16,227

Gross margin =$7,473

Therefore the amount of gross margin that results from these transactions is $7,473
