This question is asking about the percentage of gross profit on sales. Gross profit is the difference between the revenue or turnover of a firm and the cost of goods sold. In this case, the turnover is given as ₦15,000 and the cost of goods sold is ₦10,000.

To find the percentage of gross profit on sales, we need to calculate the gross profit first. We can do this by subtracting the cost of goods sold from the turnover. In this case, the gross profit would be ₦15,000 - ₦10,000 = ₦5,000.

Now, to find the percentage, we divide the gross profit by the turnover and then multiply by 100. So, the percentage of gross profit on sales would be (₦5,000/₦15,000) * 100 = 33.3%.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: 33.3%.

It's important to understand the concept of gross profit and how it is calculated, as it is a key measure of a firm's profitability. Gross profit represents the amount of money a company has left after deducting the cost of producing or purchasing goods from its revenue. It does not take into account other expenses such as operating expenses or taxes.

To find the percentage of gross profit on sales:

  1. Calculate the Gross Profit:
    Gross Profit = Turnover - Cost of Goods Sold
    Gross Profit = ₦15,000 - ₦10,000
    Gross Profit = ₦5,000

  2. Calculate the Percentage of Gross Profit on Sales:
    Percentage = (Gross Profit / Turnover) x 100
    Percentage = (₦5,000 / ₦15,000) x 100
    Percentage = 1/3 x 100
    Percentage = 33.3%

The correct option is:
B) 33.3%

Firm's turnover _the goods sold
15,000-10,000=5,000
5,000/15,000×100=33.3%
