Gross Profit Method

Home » CMA Glossary Term » Financial Statements and Reporting » Gross Profit Method

The Gross Profit Method is an accounting technique used to estimate the value of ending inventory and cost of goods sold by applying the historical gross profit margin to net sales. This method assumes a consistent gross profit rate over time, making it useful for interim financial reporting or when inventory records are incomplete. It is particularly beneficial in situations requiring quick estimates.
