The gross profit is the income made from the sales overall, taking into account if there is any of these items such as interest, tax and having the net profit calculated. I believe that the answer for this is $3,000 - ($4,000 - $1,000) = $3,000. The gross profit margin would be the percentage of money made, this means deducting expenses from revenue and dividing this number by the profits of the sales, being sure to express the answer as a percentage value, calculation is this; $3,000/$4,000 x 100 = 75%.
