Correct Option: D

Here's how to calculate the net profit, considering the provided information:

  1. Calculate Cost of Goods Sold (COGS):

    • Opening Stock: ₦2600
    • Purchases: ₦4000
    • Carriage Inwards: ₦500
    • COGS = Opening Stock + Purchases + Carriage Inwards = ₦2600 + ₦4000 + ₦500 = ₦7100
  2. Calculate Gross Profit:

    • Sales: ₦9000
    • Gross Profit = Sales - COGS = ₦9000 - ₦7100 = ₦1900
