    The shipping error = 0.5%

    Explanation:

    The find step is to calculate the break even shipping errors.

    The formula for break even shipping error is:

    Net income / cost of shipping errors

    Then,

    The sales ($223,000 - $6,000) = 217,000

    Less

    The cost of goods sold (143,000 + $4000) = 147,000

    Depreciation expense = $16,000

    Other expenses = $14,000

    The net income = 394,000

    so,

    Net income / cost of shipping errors

    $394000 / $4000 = 98.5
