Thanks for invitng me.Gross profit can be calculated as:

GROSS PROFIT = Sales - Cost of goods sold.

As acoording to your given values none of the above is the value of gross profit.calculation and explanation is given as under.

         Sales:

         (Purchases)     =4000

less  (Closing Stock) =1000          =3000

- carriage inward                           =  250

- Custom Charges                         =  200

- Octri Duty                                    =100 =3,450

Correct me if I am wrong.rest of Carriage outward is indirect expense,Discount and commission are selling and distribution expense and in last installation on machinery is added into the asset value.
