Explanation:

Sales is the consists of Gross income and Cost of goods sold. We can derive the gross income value after deducting cost of goods sold from sales value.

Budgeted Sales for next month = $200,000

Gross Margin = 25%

Gross Margin = Gross Income / Sales

25% = Gross Income / $200,000

Gross Income is the net value of sales and cost of goods sold.

Gross Income = $200,000 x 25%

Gross Income = $50,000

As we know,

Gross Income = Sales - Cost of Goods sold

$50,000 = $200,000 - Cost of Goods sold

Cost of Goods sold = $200,000 - $50,000

Cost of Goods sold = $150,000
