Barbara and William Company Income Statement For the Year Ended December 31, 2020 Sales (206,400 units) $1,032.000 Cost of goods sold 688,000 Gross profit 344,000 Operating expenses Selling $258,000 Administrative 131,150 389,150 Net loss $(45,150 ) A cost behavior analysis indicates that 75% of the cost of goods sold are variable and 40% of the selling expenses are variable. Administrative expenses are $79,550 fixed. William was a marketing major in college. He believes that sales volume can be increased only by intensive advertising and promotional campaigns. He therefore proposed the following plan as an alternative to Barbara's: (1) increase variable selling expenses to $0.575 per unit, (2) lower the selling price per unit by $0.25, and (3) increase fixed selling expenses by $43,860. William quoted an old marketing research report that said that sales volume would increase by 60% if these changes were made. Compute the net income under William's proposal and the break-even point in dollars. (Round intermediate calculations to 3 decimal places, e.g. 15.251 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 2,520.) Amount Net income $ Break-even point $
