Eagle Company makes the MusicFinder, a sophisticated satellite radio. Eagle has experienced a steady growth in sales for the past five years. However, Ms. Luray, Eagle's CEO, believes that to maintain the company's present growth will require an aggressive advertising campaign next year. To prepare for the campaign, the company's accountant, Mr. Bednarik, has prepared and presented to Ms. Luray the following data for the current year, year 1:

Variable costs:
Direct labor (per unit)	$	83
Direct materials (per unit)		37
Variable overhead (per unit)		19
Total variable costs (per unit)	$	139
Fixed costs (annual):
Manufacturing	$	386,000
Selling		288,000
Administrative		799,000
Total fixed costs (annual)	$	1,473,000
Selling price (per unit)		401
Expected sales revenues, year 1 (26,000 units)	$	10,426,000

Eagle has an income tax rate of 30 percent.
