The proprietor of a large retail store wished to ascertain approximately the
net profit of the X, Y and Z departments separately for the three months ended

but an adequate system of departmental accounting is in use, and the normal
rates of gross profit for the three departments concerned are respectively 40%,

expenses are charged in proportion to departmental turnover.
The following are the figures for the departments:
