Calculating Net profit.
Net profit = (Gross profit + income) – expenses
Income = 80,000
Expenses = Salaries & wages + rent
= 80,000 + 70,000
= 130,000
hence N.P = ( 190,000 + 80,000) - 150,000
= 270,000 - 150,000
= kshs. 120,000

Calculating mark-up percentage.
Mark – up = Gross profi x 100
Cost of goods sold
= 190,000 x 100
490,000
= 38.8%
