Question:

What will be the gross profit ratio if revenue from operations is ₹4,00,000 and gross profit is 25% on cost?

Options:

10%

20%

25%

30%

Correct Answer:

20%

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- 20%.

If Gross profit is 25% on cost then goods costing ₹100 must be sold for ₹125.
If sales is ₹125 then Gross Profit is ₹25
If sales is 4,00,000 then Gross profit = 4,00,000 X 25/125
                                                           = ₹80,000

Gross Profit Ratio = Gross Profit/Net Revenue of Operations × 100
Gross profit ratio =  80,000/4,00,000 X 100
                            = 20%
