Answer:

$363,500

Explanation:

Gross profit = Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold.

In the case

Revenue = $578,000.

The Cost of Goods Sold: COGS

Inventory turn over = COGS/ Average turnover

Average turnover = Opening stock + closing stock/2

In this case Opening stock + Closing stock = $110,000

Average turnover = $110,000 /2 =$55,000

Therefore:

3.9 = COGS/$55,000

COGS = $55,000 x 3.9

COGS =$214,500

Gross profit =  $578,000 - $214,500

Gross profit = $363,500
