Expenses are to be shared in the ratio of sales.

The net profit for departmental A is

A.

1880

B.

1600

C.

880

D.

425

Correct answer is D

Cost of goods sold for departmental = 1000 + 1500 = 2,500
Gross profit = Sales - Cost of goods sold
3000 - 2500
⇒ ₦500
Therefore, Net profit = Gross profit - Expenses
500 - (50 ÷ 2 + 100 ÷ 2)
500 - (25 + 50)
500 - 75
Net profit = ₦425
