Explanation:

Gross margin : The gross margin is shows a difference between sales, cost of goods sold, and others cost also.

In mathematically,

Gross margin = Sales - Cost of good sold - freight cost of pucrhase

where,

Sales = $24,900

Cost of good sold = Purchase × ( 1 - Discount rate)

                              = $16,700 × (1 - 0.04)

                              = $16,032

Freight cost = $670

Now apply these amounts in the above equation

So gross margin = $24,900 - $16,032 - $670

                            = $8,198

The freight on sales is paid by the buyer, hence it is not considered.
