What Is a Gross Profit Analysis?

Commodity sales gross profit analysis is an analysis of the difference between the purchase and sale of goods. The gross profit of commodity sales is the main body of the profit of commodity sales. The increase or decrease directly affects the total profit. The difference between the sales of goods and the purchase price of goods sold is usually called the "commodity purchase and sale price difference." The analysis of the gross profit of merchandise sales is generally carried out from two aspects of merchandise sales and merchandise sales structure that affect the increase or decrease of merchandise gross profit. The factors that cause changes in the sales of goods are mainly the effects of changes in the number of goods sold and the purchase prices of goods. ^[1]
