C. \$[/tex]133.6 billion



Answer :

To calculate Microsoft's (MSFT) gross profit for FY2022 using the data provided, we follow these steps:

1. Identify the revenue and the cost of goods sold:
- Revenue: \[tex]$198.3 billion - Cost of Goods Sold (COGS): \$[/tex]62.7 billion

2. Use the formula for gross profit:
[tex]\[ \text{Gross Profit} = \text{Revenue} - \text{Cost of Goods Sold} \][/tex]

3. Substitute the provided numbers into the formula:
[tex]\[ \text{Gross Profit} = 198.3 \, \text{billion} - 62.7 \, \text{billion} \][/tex]

4. Calculate the gross profit:
[tex]\[ \text{Gross Profit} = 135.60000000000002 \, \text{billion} \][/tex]

Given this calculation, Microsoft's gross profit for FY2022 is approximately \[tex]$135.6 billion. Therefore, the correct answer is not listed in the given options, but the closest feasible choice should theoretically be: C. \$[/tex]133.6 billion (since this is the closest match, assuming some form of rounding or typographical error for the options listed).

However, since the exact calculation arrives at \$135.6 billion, none of the provided options are correct if precision is maintained.
