B.

D 38, 620

C.

D 36,360

D.

D 39,220

Correct answer is C

The given information states:

 

Sales: D195,000

Purchases: D160,000

Returns outwards: D880

Carriage inwards: D740

Returns inwards: D620

 

To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to subtract the returns inwards and carriage inwards from the purchases:

 

Cost of Goods Sold = Purchases - Returns Inwards - Carriage Inwards

Cost of Goods Sold = D160,000 - D620 - D740

Cost of Goods Sold = D158,640

 

Gross Profit = Net Sales - Cost of Goods Sold

Gross Profit = D195,000 - D158,640

Gross Profit = D36,360
