Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

Calculate the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS):
COGS = Opening Stock (1-09-2006) + Purchases - Closing Stock (31-08-2007)
COGS #20,000+ #140,000 - #10,000
=
COGS #150,000
Calculate the Gross Profit:
Gross Profit = Sales - COGS
Gross Profit = # 200,000 - #150,000
Gross Profit = #50,000
Calculate the Net Profit:
Net Profit = Gross Profit - General Expenses Net Profit = #50,000 - #10,000
Net Profit = #40,000
Calculate the Net Profit Percentage:
Net Profit Percentage = (Net Profit / Sales) x 100 Net Profit Percentage = (#40,000 / #200,000) x 100 Net Profit Percentage =20%
