Required:
Compute Novak's 2020 gross profit.
Compute Novak's 2020 operating expenses if net income is $143,000 and thre are no nonoperating activities.

Explanation:

Gross Profit;

= Net sales - Cost of Goods sold

Net sales = Sales revenue - sales discounts - sales returns and allowances

= 807,000 - 6,000 - 10,900

=  $790,100

Cost of Goods sold

= Opening balance + Purchases + Freight-in - Purchase discounts - Purchase returns and allowances -closing balance

= 56,500 + 509,500 + 4,800 - 8,000 - 2,700 - 66,500

= $493,600

Gross Profit = 790,100 - 493,600

= $296,500

Operating Expense

Net Income =  Gross profit - operating expenses

143,000 = 296,500 - operating expenses

Operating expenses = 296,500 - 143,000

= $153,500
