    Solution

    Gross profit margin = Gross profit/sales For calculating Gross profit: Gross profit = Sales – COGS                         = Sales – (Opening inventory + purchases – closing inventory + other manufacturing expenses)                         = 100000 – (10000 + (75000-2000) + 2000 + 5000)                         = 10000 Gross profit margin = 10000/100000 = 10%
