Claypool Industry
Hardware Average Difference
Claypool earned a gross profit rate of 32%, which is significantly higher than the industry
average. Claypool’s sales were above the industry average, and it earned $77,968 more gross
profit than the “average” store of its size. This higher gross profit was earned even though
its cost of goods sold was $18,000 to $20,000 higher than the industry average because of the
additional transportation charges.
To have a higher-than-average cost of goods sold and still earn a much larger-than-
average amount of gross profit, Claypool must be able to charge substantially higher
sales prices than most hardware stores. Presumably, the company could not charge such
prices in a highly competitive environment. Thus, the remote location appears to
insulate it from competition and allow it to operate more profitably than hardware stores
with nearby competitors.

)
