The Gross profit is $18,000

Explanation:

In order to calculate the amount of gross profit we would have to make the following calculation:

Gross Profit = Sale - Allowance - Sales Returns - Discount - Cost of Goods Sold

Sale=$50,000

Allowance=$3,000

Sales Returns=$9,000

Cost of Goods Sold = $20,000

Discount. As the payment is done after the expiry of 15 days is discount is 0

Gross Profit = $50,000 - $3,000 - $9,000 - 0 - $20,000

Gross Profit = $18,000

The Gross profit is $18,000
