Answer:

$121,200

Explanation:

The gross profit that would appear on a multiple-step income statement can be determined as :

Gross Profit = Net Sales - Cost of Sales

where,

Net Sales = Sales - Sales Discounts -  Sales Returns and Allowances

                =  $ 250,000 -  $1,500 -  $2,300

                =  $246,200

therefore,

Gross Profit = $246,200 - $125,000

                    = $121,200
