1. **State the problem:** Calculate the gross profit from the sales transactions given the inventory and purchase data.
2. **Formula for gross profit:**
$$\text{Gross Profit} = \text{Sales Revenue} - \text{Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)}$$
3. **Identify sales revenue:** Sum the unit prices of all vehicles sold.
4. **Identify COGS:** For each vehicle sold, use the cost price from beginning inventory or purchases before the sale date.
5. **Calculate sales revenue:**
- April 8 sales: Focus C81362 at 26,100, Mustang G62313 at 32,600
- April 18 sales: Mustang G71891 at 32,200, F-150 F1921 at 33,000, Flex X3892 at 33,100, Escape E21202 at 32,600
Total sales revenue = 26,100 + 32,600 + 32,200 + 33,000 + 33,100 + 32,600 = $$189,600$$
6. **Calculate COGS:**
- Focus C81362 cost from beginning inventory = 24,400
- Mustang G62313 cost from beginning inventory = 29,800
- Mustang G71891 cost from April 12 purchase = 27,700
- F-150 F1921 cost from beginning inventory = 28,800
- Flex X3892 cost from beginning inventory = 30,300
- Escape E21202 cost from April 12 purchase = 28,600
Total COGS = 24,400 + 29,800 + 27,700 + 28,800 + 30,300 + 28,600 = $$169,600$$
7. **Calculate gross profit:**
$$\text{Gross Profit} = 189,600 - 169,600 = 20,000$$
**Final answer:** The gross profit is $20,000.
