I tink I now underrstand their answer, option c was chosen bcos dey assume dey were not given expenses, so d Netprrofit will be GP+ other income

Its absolutly impossible for c to be regarded as the correct answer bcos even with common sense there is no way gross profit +commission will give birth to net profit. Its totally unethical and unproffessional.

The correct answer should be D

I think the answer is not there, bcos Net profit is Gross profit+other income- expenses. And answer d is tell us dat Net profit is eliminating all expenses 4rm GP & adding other income. Wat am saying is that we can't eliminate expenses 4rm GP until we add the income if given, it is only wen we re nt given dat we can get our NP like dis GP- expenses

so annoying. I said is c to myself before opening the answer to see is c they marked too. but I'm very much confused here this is not once or twice im seeing all this... meant comments disagreeing with the answers they give. does it mean they are giving us wrong answers??? is so unfair if so. I get to quit in here b4 they full my memory with wrong answers. need some replies about the answers they are giving us. thanks Nd God bless.

The answer is D

with due respect the answer is D why? because all expense must be deducted from the main balance of the gross profit after all other income has been credited and added to it. i wished i could draw the format here.
