Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Quantity of dog food purchased = 5,100 bags

Cost per bag = $7

Quantity of dog food sold = 5,100 bags

Sales price per bag = $11

Sales revenue                               $56,100 ($5,100 * $11)

Less Sales allowances                        220

Net Sales                                      $55,880

Cost of goods (dog food) sold      35,700 (5,100 *$7)

Gross profit                                  $20,180

Discounts (2,100 * $11 * 1%)                231

Net operating income                $19,949

Gross profit percentage = Gross profit/Net Sales * 100

= $20,180/$55,880 * 100

= 36.11%
