An entrepreneur recently purchased Cocoon's, a local deli, on the beach. To operate the business, she estimates that selling and administrative expenses will be $98,510.00 per year and that depreciation will be $20,000.00 per year. As part of her purchase, she took out a bank loan that will require $76,265.00 per year in interest. She anticipates paying a 32.00% tax rate on income. She estimates that the deli will attract 200.00 customers per day. Each customer will spend $12.00 on average. The cost of goods per customer will be $4.50. She will operate the deli 350.00 days per year. What is the projected net profit margin for the deli

Respuesta :

Answer:

27%

Explanation:

The computation of the net profit margin is shown below;

As we know that

net profit margin = Net profit ÷ sales

where

net profit is

Particulars                                                                 Amount

Sales (200 customers × $12 × 350 days) $840,000

Less: cost of goods sold (200 customers × $4.50 × 350 days) -$315,000

Gross profit $525,000

Less:

Selling and admin expense -$98,510

Depreciation expense - $20,000

Bank loan interest -$76,265

Net income before tax $330,225

Less tax at 32% -$105,672

Net income after tax $224,553

Now the net profit margin is

= $224,553 ÷ $840,000

= 27%
