Explanation

(a) The term turnover refers to the total net sales of a business in a given period

(i) Gross Profit = Selling price - Cost price
Gross profit% = Gross profit x 100  
                                 Sales        1 

Buckets GP = 4000 - 3500 = 500
GP%  500  x 100  = 12.5%
          4000     1 

Boxes GP 5000 - 4000 = 1,000
GP% 1000 x 100 = 20%
          5000      1

Bournvita GP 6000 - 55oo = 500 
GP%  500 x 100  = 8.3
         6000     1 

Lace Materials GP 12000 - 10500 = 1500
                    GP%    1500   x 100 = 12.5% 
                                12000       1 
Net Profit
Gross profit - Expenses = Net profit 
Buckets 500 - 400 = 100
Boxes 1000 - 250 = 750
Bournvita 500 - 300 = 200
Lace Materials 1500 - 1000 = 500
