Baskin Promotions, Inc. sells T-shirts decorated for a variety of concert performers. The company has developed the following budget for the coming year based on a sales forecast of 77,000 T-shirts:

Sales	$	1,345,190
Cost of Goods Sold		786,940
Gross Profit		558,250
Operating Expenses ($100,000 is fixed)		406,460
Operating Income		151,790
Income Taxes (30% of operating income)		45,537
Net Income	$	106,253

   

Cost of goods sold and variable operating expenses vary directly with sales, and the income tax rate is 30% at all levels of operating income.

If the concert season is slow due to poor weather, Baskin estimates that sales could fall to as low as 57,000 T-shirts.
