Answer :

To calculate the gross profit, we subtract purchases returns from purchases.

What adjustments are made to calculate the gross profit in the given scenario?

In the given information, we start with the pre-adjustment trial balance and make adjustments based on additional information provided. We calculate the gross profit by subtracting purchases returns from purchases and then deducting operating expenses such as salaries and wages, bad debts, stationery, rates and taxes, motor expenses, repairs and maintenance, telephone, electricity and water, bank charges, and advertising.

We add the rent income to obtain the operating profit before interest and rent income. Then we deduct the interest on the mortgage loan and the interest on the investment to calculate the net profit before tax. Finally, we apply the tax rate of 40% to find the tax expense and subtract it from the net profit before tax to arrive at the net profit for the year.
