Accounting

Merline Manufacturing makes its product for $65 per unit and sells it for $131 per unit. The sales staff receives a commission of 10% of
sales. Its December income statement follows.
Management expects December's results to be repeated in January, February, and March without any changes in strategy.

product will remain at $65 per unit, the sales staff will continue to earn a 10% commission, and the remaining expenses will stay the
same.
Required:
Prepare budgeted income statements for each of the months of January, February, and March that show results from implementing
