Review the chapter?s opening feature about Tim Westergren and the business he founded, Pandora. Assume that he is considering expanding the business to Europe and that the current abbreviated income statement appears as follows.

Assume also that the company currently has no interest-bearing debt. If it expands to Europe, it will require a $300,000 loan. The company has found a bank that will loan it the money on a 7% note payable. The company believes that, at least for the first few years, sales in Europe will equal $250,000 and that all expenses at both locations will continue to equal 55% of sales.
