If sales were $5,000 and operating expenses were $2,700 - what is the net profit as a percentage of sales?

I have the unlock software for sale $2,000,000, it's pirated and if I am going to break the law by selling it for profit it's going to be expensive!!!

Operating expenses are those expenses needed for a company to produce the product or service it sells. It includes all overheads such as payroll, equipment and building costs or rent and leasing costs, insurance, debt service and more. These are costs that must be met before the company makes a profit. The company must produce revenues equal to operating expenses in order to stay in business. It must produce revenues over and above operating expenses to make a profit for its investors or shareholders.

Divide 20,000 by 10,000, subtract 1, then multiply by 100 to get 100%.

Gross profit =total revenue -cost of doing business
Gross profit percentage = Gross profit/(Total revenue.)*100%
To increase the gross profit percentage, you decrease the cost of doing business.
Costs= all you have to spend to be able to do business (merchandises, employees' pay, rent of facilities, electric bills, etc.)

Percentages are calculated by using the following equation:
amount/total = percentage
Where percentage is in decimal format.
What do you want to do?

Calculate the amount if you know the total and percentage For example, if you purchase a computer for $800 and there is an 8.9% sales tax, how much do you have to pay for the sales tax? In this example, you want to find 8.9% of 800.
Example The example may be easier to understand if you copy it to a blank worksheet.

1 2 A B Purchase price Sales tax (in decimal form) 800 0.089 Formula Description (Result) =A2*B2 Multiplies 800 by 0.089 to find the amount of sales tax to pay ($71.20) Note To convert a number in percentage format to a decimal, divide it by 100. For example, the sales tax in this example (8.9) divided by 100 is .089.

Simple way Amount/Total*100

Answer A:

45 dozen: 12 x 45 = 540

Destroyed: 15% of 540 = 540 x (15/100) = 81

Remaining: 540 - 81 = 459

A profit of 265 means that 459 items must sell at 2700+265=2965 naira or 2965/459=6.46 naira approximately.

Cost per item = 6.46 or 6.5 naira approximately


Answer B:

Cost = 800 naira

8 spoilt. Remaining = 200 - 8 = 192 OR 16 dozen (12x16=192)

Selling price: 60 naira per dozen = 60 x 16 = 960 naira

Profit made (selling price - cost price) = 960 - 800 = 160 naira. Percent profit = Profit/cost x 100 = 160/800 x 100 = 20%

Percentage profit = 20%

Gross Profit = Sales - CGS.
Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit / Total Sales

Company A has sales of $80,000 and a CGS of $60,000. GP=$20,000 and GPM = 25%

Assuming the Belvedere Arms sells only food and drink:
a) Total sales for the week is the sum of the drink sales and food sales, £11,800 + £5,600 = £17,400
b) Sales budget is £16,200, so performance is (17,400-16,200)/16,200 = 1200/16200 = .074 which is up by 7.4%
c) Profit on food is £3,640 on total food sales of £5,600. 3640/5600 = .65 or 65%
d) Profit on drink is £8,496 on total drink sales of £11,800. 8496/11,800 = .72 or 72%
e) Total profit is £12,036 on total sales of £17,400. 12,136/17,400 = .697 or 70%
