Sales Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold = gross profit

Explanation:

A merchandising business is one that is involved in selling goods to customers. The firm may purchase or produce the goods it sells. Merchandising firms report an expense named the cost of goods sold COGS. This cost represents the total cost of all goods sold to customers during a period.

Costs of goods sold include the direct cost associated with the merchandise. Calculation of COGS is by adding net purchases to the opening stock then subtracting ending stock. The cost of goods sold is used in calculating gross profit. Service firms do not report this cost as they do not sell goods.
