Answer:

Gross profit earned = $7,972

Explanation:

Net sales = $35,000 - 3,600

Net sales  = $31,400

Merchandise cost = $24,500 - 1,700

Merchandise cost = 22,800

Discount allowed = [$31,400]2%

Discount allowed = 628

Gross profit earned = $31,400 - $22,800 - $628

Gross profit earned = $7,972
