Break$-$even sales under present and proposed conditions

Portmann Company, operating at full capacity, sold $1,000,000$ units at a price of $$186$ per unit during the current year. Its income statement is as follows:

Line Item Description Amount Amount

Sales $$186,000,000$

Cost of goods sold $(99,000,000)$

Gross profit $$87,000,000$

Expenses:

Selling expenses $$16,000,000$

Administrative expenses $$9,400,000$

Total expenses $(25,400,000)$

Operating income $$61,600,000$

The division of costs between variable and fixed is as follows:

Line Item Description Variable $|$ Fixed

Cost of goods sold $70\%30\%$

Selling expenses $75\%25\%$

Administrative expenses $50\%50\%$

Management is considering a plant expansion program for the following year that will permit an increase of $$13,020,000$ in yearly sales. The expansion will increase fixed costs by $$5,000,000$ but will not affect the relationship between sales and variable costs.
