    Using the gross profit method, the cost of goods sold would be:

    $42,500

    Explanation:

    Gross margin ratio of the company is 15%. Refer the formula:

    Gross margin = Gross profit/Revenue (or net sales)

    = (Net sales - Cost of good sold) / Net sales

    Using the gross profit method and from the formula,

    Cost of good sold = Net sales - Net sales x Gross margin

    = Net sales x (1 - Gross margin)

    = $50,000 x (1-0.15) = $50,000 x 0.85 = $42,500
