    Good day sir,I was doing this question and i’m confused on how the gross profit figure for yr 4 was calculated.

    QUESTION
    Sales price will start at $12 per unit for the first two years but then reduce by 5% per annum for each of the next two years.

    Gross profit will start at 40% but will reduce as the sales price reduces

    The answer
    y1 yr 2 yr 3 yr4
    Sales (W1) 216,000 237,600 248,292 235,877
    Gross profit (W2) 86,400 95,040 91,476 79,061

    WORKINGS

    (1)Sales Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4
    Sales volume (units) 18,000 1 9,800a 21,780b 21,780

    2)Gross profit
    Year 1 40% (given) Total gross profit = $216,000 × 0.4 = $86,400
    Year 2 40% (given) Total gross profit= $237,600 × 0.4 = $95,040
    Year 3 35/95= 36.8421052% Total gross profit = $248,292 × 0.368421052 = $91,476
    Year 4* 30.25/90.25= 33.5180055% Total gross profit = $235,877 × 0.335180055 = $79,061

    Pls I do not understand how 30.25/90.25 was calculated to get the gross profit figure for yr 4.Thanks

    Suppose that the selling price was $100 initially. Therefore the cost would be $60.

    By the end of the 4th year, the selling price will have fallen to 95% x 95% x $100 = $90.25.

    The cost will still be $60, and therefore the profit will be $30.25.
