A small hardware store purchases 5 hammers for $5 each and sells the hammers for $9 each. Which of the following amounts represents the total gross profit?
- A. $20
- B. $4
- C. $45
- D. $25
Answer: A
Explanation:
Gross profit is calculated as total revenue minus the cost of goods sold (COGS). The store purchases 5 hammers at $5 each, so COGS = 5 × $5 = $25. The hammers are sold at $9 each, so total revenue = 5 × $9 =
$45. Gross profit = $45 # $25 = $20. Option A ($4) represents the profit per hammer, not the total. Option C ($25) is the COGS, and Option D ($45) is the total revenue. This question tests basic accounting principles under the Accounting and Finance category.

- A. decrease
- B. increase
- C. remain unchanged
- D. rise, then fall
Answer: B
