CCC currently has sales of $$24,000,000$ and projects sales of $$30,000,000$ for next year. The firm's current assets equal $$6,000,000$ while its fixed assets are $$7,000,000.$ The best estimate is that current assets will rise directly with sales while fixed assets will rise by $$400,000.$ The firm presently has $$2,400,000$ in accounts payable, $$1,400,000$ in long$-$term debt, and $$9,200,000$ in common equity. All current liabilities are expected to change directly with sales. CCC plans to pay $$800,000$ in dividends next year and has a $5\mathrm{.}0\%$ net profit margin. Assuming the increase in fixed assets will occur, what is the most sales could equal next year without using discretionary sources of funds? $($Round your answer to the nearest dollar.$)$
