Gross profit, huh? I'm gonna go with option E, 31,000 profit. Why? Because it's the biggest number, and who doesn't love a big profit? *winks*

Hmm, okay, I need to review my inventory and cost of goods sold formulas here. Gross profit is revenue minus cost of goods sold, and cost of goods sold is beginning inventory plus purchases minus ending inventory. I'll work this out step-by-step and double-check my answer.

This looks like a straightforward accounting question. Let me think this through - revenue of 24,300, opening inventory of 1,500, closing inventory of 8,000, and purchases of 13,200. I'm going to go with option A, 17,600 profit.

But Entity HJ had revenue of 24,300 and purchases of 13,200, so the gross profit should be higher than 6,700 loss.
