Determine the amount of sales $($units$)$ that would be necessary under the proposed program to realize the $$62,300,000$ of operating income that was earned in the current year.Break$-$even sales under present and proposed conditions Determine the maximum operating income possible with the expanded plant.

$

If the proposal is accepted and sales remain at the current level, what will the operating income or loss be for the following year?

$

Based on the data given, would you recommend accepting the proposal?

a$.$ In favor of the proposal because of the reduction in break$-$even point.

b$.$ In favor of the proposal because of the possibility of increasing income from operations.

c$.$ In favor of the proposal because of the increase in break$-$even point.

d$.$ Reject the proposal because if future sales remain at the current level, the income from operations will increase.

e$.$ Reject the proposal because the sales necessary to maintain the current income from operations would be below the current year sales.
