Working Note:

Determine the amount of cost of goods sold.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Cost of goods sold}=\text{Sales revenue}-\text{Gross margin}\\ =\$800-\$375\\ =\$425\end{array}$ (1)

Determine the amount of selling expense.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Selling expense}=\text{Gross margin}-\text{Administrative expense}-\text{ Pretax income}\\ =\$375-\$125-\$200\\ =\$50\end{array}$ (2)

Determine the amount of income tax expense.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Income tax expense}=\text{Pretax income}-\text{Net income after tax}\\ =\$200-\$150\\ =\$50\end{array}$ (3)

Determine the amount of gross margin.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Gross margin}=\text{Sales revenue}-\text{Cost of goods sold}\\ =\$600-\$150\\ =\$450\end{array}$ (4)

Determine the amount of administrative expense.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Administrative expense}=\text{Gross margin}-\text{Selling expense}-\text{ Pretax income}\\ =\$450-\$50-\$300\\ =\$100\end{array}$ (5)

Determine the amount of net income.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Net income}=\text{Pretax income}-\text{ Income tax expense}\\ =\$300-\$30\\ =\$270\end{array}$ (6)

Determine the amount of pretax income.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Pretax income}=\text{Net income after tax}+\text{Income tax expense}\\ =\$50+\$20\\ =\$70\end{array}$ (7)

Determine the amount of gross margin.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Gross margin}=\text{ Pretax income}+\text{Selling expense}+\text{Administrative expense}\\ =\$70+\$80+\$70\\ =\$220\end{array}$ (8)

Determine the amount of cost of goods sold.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Cost of goods sold}=\text{ Sales revenue}-\text{Gross margin}\\ =\$500-\$220\left(8\right)\\ =\$280\end{array}$ (9)

Determine the amount of net income.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Net income}=\text{Pretax income}-\text{Income tax expense}\\ =\$200-\$50\\ =\$150\end{array}$ (10)

Determine the amount of gross margin.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Gross margin}=\text{ Pretax income}+\text{Selling expense}+\text{Administrative expense}\\ =\$200+\$350+\$120\\ =\$670\end{array}$ (11)

Determine the amount of sales revenue.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Sales revenue}=\text{Cost of goods sold}+\text{Gross margin}\\ =\$500+\$670\left(11\right)\\ =\$1,170\end{array}$ (12)

Determine the amount of pretax income.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Pretax income}=\text{Net income after tax}+\text{Income tax expense}\\ =\$100+\$20\\ =\$120\end{array}$ (13)

Determine the amount of sales revenue.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Sales revenue}=\text{Cost of goods sold}+\text{Gross margin}\\ =\$320+\$440\\ =\$760\end{array}$ (14)
