Answer: Gross profit = $270,000

Gross profit ratio = 36 %

Explanation: We can compute gross profit and gross profit ratio by using the following formula :-

Gross profit = Sales - cost of goods sold

And,

[tex]Gross\:profit\:ratio=\frac{Gross\:profit}{sales}[/tex]

So, putting the values into equation we get :-

Gross profit = $750,000 - $480,000

= $270,000

and,

[tex]Gross\:profit\:ratio=\frac{270,000}{750,000}[/tex]

= 36 %
