Answer :

Answer: $90,000

Explanation:

If sales in 2008 and 2009 were steady at $30 million, but the gross margin increased from 2.9% to 3.2% between those years, the amount by which the cost of sales would be reduced would be:

= $30 million × (3.2% - 2.9%)

= $30 nillioy× 0.3%

= $30 million × 0.003

= $90,000
