Explanation

 (a) Cost of goods sold = opening stock + purchases - closing stock
cost of goods sold          N
opening stock              3,000
purchases                   7,000
                                  10,000
Less closing stock      2,000
cost of goods sold      8,000

(b) Net profit percentage
sales                        12,000
cost of goods sold     8,000
Gross profit               4,000
Less expenses;
wages        500
Transport    400
electricity     300        1,200
Net profit                    2,800
Net profit percentage = Net profit * 100 / sales

2800/12000 * 100
23.33 = 23%

(c) Rate of turnover = cost of goods sold / Average stock
     Average stock = opening stock + closing stock / 2
   = 3000 + 2000 / 2 = 2500
cost of goods sold = 
opening stock     3,000
purchases           7,000      10,000
less closing stock;           2000
cost of goods sold              8,000
Rate of turnover = 8,000 / 2500 = 3.2 time
