    the gross profit for the month is $47,522

    the gross profit percentage for the month is 81.48%

    Explanation:

    gross profit calculation for the month

    Sales (5,400 * $11) 59,400

    Less Discount Allowed (2,600*$11*3%) (858)

    Less Sales Allowances $220 (220)

    Net Sales 58,322

    Less Cost of Goods Sold

    Opening Stock 0

    Add Purchases (5,400 * $2) 10,800

    Less Closing Stock 0 (10,800)

    Gross Profit 47,522

    gross profit percentage for the month

    gross profit percentage = gross profit / sales * 100

    = 47,522 / 58,322 * 100

    = 81.48%
