it depends what you negotiated with your employer in your contract. typically, gross sales is your total sale, and net sales would be your employer's "cut" of the sale. Ex. if you get 10% of a $10,000 sale (gross), you would take home $1000. if you get 10% of your employer's cut (net) on the same sale, you would take home $250. obviously, it is much better to be paid on gross sales than net sales - always negotiate in YOUR best interest. i work in the medical sales industry, and we are all paid on gross sales - but we negotiated for this. hope it helps!

United services and supplies reports net income of 60000 and cost of goods sold of 360000. If US and ampS's gross profit rate was 40 net sales were?

To find the net sales, we can use the gross profit rate formula. The gross profit is calculated as gross profit rate multiplied by net sales. Given the gross profit rate of 40%, we can set up the equation: Gross Profit = Net Sales × Gross Profit Rate Net Income = Gross Profit - Cost of Goods Sold First, we need to determine gross profit, which can be found by adding net income to cost of goods sold: Gross Profit = Net Income + Cost of Goods Sold = 60,000 + 360,000 = 420,000. Now using the gross profit formula: 420,000 = Net Sales × 0.40 Net Sales = 420,000 / 0.40 = 1,050,000. Thus, US and S's net sales were $1,050,000.
