Exercise 14-15A (Algo) Preparing pro forma income statements with different assumptions LO 14-6

Jacob Long, the controller of Arvada Corporation, is trying to prepare a sales budget for the coming year. The income statements for the last four quarters follow:

	First Quarter				Second Quarter				Third Quarter				Fourth Quarter				Total
Sales revenue	$	175,000			$	205,000			$	215,000			$	265,000			$	860,000
Cost of goods sold		87,500				102,500				107,500				132,500				430,000
Gross profit		87,500				102,500				107,500				132,500				430,000
Selling & administrative expenses		17,500				20,500				21,500				26,500				86,000
Net income	$	70,000			$	82,000			$	86,000			$	106,000			$	344,000

Historically, cost of goods sold is about 50 percent of sales revenue. Selling and administrative expenses are about 10 percent of sales revenue.

Fred Arvada, the chief executive officer, told Mr. Long that he expected sales next year to be 15 percent for each respective quarter above last years level. However, Rita Banks, the vice president of sales, told Mr. Long that she believed sales growth would be only 10 percent.
