The formula I use is not giving me the right answer.Can someone please help. I used cost of good sold percent=cost of goods/net sales. My book does not give any other formulas for figuring the percentages. Here is the problem. The blank spots are the percents I need.
At the end of 2012 the following information is available for Chicago and St. Louis companies.
