Respuesta :

Answer:

32%

Explanation:

The net sales of the Nueva Company is $7340. If good available for sales cost $5790 and the company opted FIFO method, then the cost of goods sold is $4992. Net sales minus COGS = Gross Profit

Solution:

Net sales = $7,340

Cost of goods sold ($5,790 – 798) = 4,992

Gross profit = 2,348

$2,348/$7,340 = 32%
