Calculate the difference in annual sales, gross profit and gross profit:

ParticularsCompany CH (A)Industry Average (B)Difference (AB)
Annual sales$1,024,900$1,000,000$24,900
Gross profit$327,968$250,000 (3)77,968
Gross profit rate32% (4)25%7%

Table (9)

Working note:

Calculate the gross profit for industry average:

Gross profit for industry average=Annual sales×Gross profit rate=$1,000,000×25%=$250,000 (3)

Calculate the gross profit rate for Company CH:

Gross profit rate for Company CH=Gross profitAnnual sales=$327,968$1,024,900×100=32% (4)

By calculating the annual sales, gross profit, and gross profit rate, it is identified that Company CH’s performance is higher than the industry average. The gross profit earned by Company CH is higher than the industry average, even if the cost of goods sold incurred by Company CH is higher than the industry, because of the additional transportation charges. The transportation charge made by Company CH is substantially higher than the other companies. Probably, the company should not charge higher prices in the competitive market. Hence, the remote location appears to insulate it from the completion and make the company to operate more profitable than the other company.
