Hello, can u help me explain this exercise ? Ann's cash at bank account for the month of May shows receipts from customers of £4,370 and payments to suppliers of goods for resale of £2,850. On 1 May and 31 May Ann owed suppliers £460 and £570 respectively and at 31 May one customer had not paid her invoice of £320. Ann had goods on hand at 1 May and 31 May which had cost him £650 and £710 respectively. Ann's gross profit for the month of May is A £1,150 B. £1,790 C. £2,010 D. £1,370 Thank u !

The total sales during the month are 4,370 + 320 = 4,690. The total purchases during the month are 2,850 - 460 + 570 = 2,960. Therefore the cost of goods sold is 650 + 2,960 - 710 = 2,900 Therefore the profit for the month is 4,690 - 2,900 = 1,790 Have you watched my free lectures on this? :-)
