$17,882

Explanation:

For computing the gross profit earned first we have to determine the net sales, net cost and discount which is shown below:

Net sales  is

= Sale value of merchandise - returned sale goods value

= $33,600 - $2,700

= $30,900

Net cost is

= Cost of merchandise sold - returned cost goods value

= $13,900 - $1,500

= $12,400

Discount allowed is

= $30,900 × 2%

=  $618

Now the gross profit earned is

= Net sales - net cost - discount allowed

= $30,900 - $12,400 - $618

= $17,882
