Solution:

The correct answer is C. $125,000

Sell2All Inc. should report earned gross profit of $125,000 as at December 31st, year 2 balance sheet.

 

Calculate gross profit margin:


Gross profit margin=RevenueCost  of  salesRevenue×100\frac{Revenue - Cost\; of\; sales}{Revenue} \times 100


Year 1 Gross profit = 400,000300,000400,000×100=25%\frac{400,000 - 300,000}{400,000}\times 100 = 25\%

Year 1 earned gross profit = Amount collected ×\times gross profit margin

= 100,000×\times 25%25\% = $25,000\$25,000

Year 2 earned gross profit = 400,000 ×\times 25%25\% = $100,000\$100,000


Total gross profit earned to be recorded on the year 2 balance sheet as at December 31st = 25,000 + 100,000 = $125,000\$125,000
