    16.33%

    Explanation:

    For the coming quarter the Gross margin is also likely to increase by 20% because Sales will actually increase by 20% based on the given data and also on the assumption that the new product will be equally profitable. In this way the Gross margin must increase by 20% as well. However the quarterly rise in Gross margin would be 5% (20% divided by 4).

    Gross Margin 1 15.40%

    Gross Margin 2 15.50%

    Gross Margin 3 15.60%

    Gross Margin 4 15.70%

    Average Gross Margin 15.55%

    20% increase in Gross Margin 18.66%

    5% increase in Gross Margin 16.33%
