Hector decided to enter the mask business

Finance Dec 25, 2020

Hector decided to enter the mask business. He purchased 5,000 masks online from an Italian manufacturer. These are fashion-forward masks for which Hector paid €4 each (current Euro/Dollar exchange rate is $1.21 per Euro). Hector decided to mark-up the product 25%. He succeeded in selling out his inventory.

• What, in US$, was Hector’s gross profit?

• What was the gross profit margin percentage?

Expert Solution

[1] Hectors's Gross profit      
  1euro=1.21          
             
  Cost of purchase the one mask in $= 4$*1.21  
        = $4.84  
             
  Total cost of 5000 mask   = 24200  
          (5000*4.84)
             
  Selling price of 5000 mask = 24200+25%
        = 30250  
             
  Gross profit   = 30250-24200    
             
      = 6050    
             
             
[2] Gross profit margin percentage    
             
             
             
  GP margin = Selling price- cost price *100  
      selling price    
             
    = 6050 *100    
      30250      
             
    = 20%
