B Closing inventory is lower than opening inventory.
C Some closing inventory items were included at less than cost.
D Selling and distribution costs have risen.The true answer is C because :
A – Sales volume decrease or increase doesn’t affect on gross profit margin because with change in the sales volume subsequently the sales revenue and cost of sales also will be changed.
B – If the closing inventory is lower than the opening inventory with decrease in the purchases the margin ratio could be fixed. Therefor, just this criteria is not enough for change in the margin ratio.
C – When the closing inventory contains some items at less than their cost definitely the cost of sales will be increased, so the gross profit also will be decreased, therefor the margin percentage will be decreased.
D – Selling and distribution cost are not parts of the gross profit. They are figures that represented after the gross profit. actually, these are parts of operating profit.Good luck
