Gross profit = $187,500

Explanation:

Note: the question is incomplete.

Assume, labour and other cost are $5 per unit and material cost is $5

Given:

Unit sold = 23,000 at $20 per unit

Stock in hand = 8,500 units

Produced units = 21,000 units

Computation of Gross profit:

FI-FO method

Gross profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold

Gross profit = (23,000 * $20) - [ (8,500 * $10) + (12,500 * $15) ]

Gross profit = 460,000 - [85,000 + 187,500]

Gross profit = 460,000 - 272,500

Gross profit = $187,500
