The CEO would like to see higher sales and a forecasted net income of $1,275,000. Assume that operating costs (excluding depreciation and amortization) are 55% of sales and that depreciation and amortization and interest expenses will increase by 10%. The tax rate, which is 40%, will remain the same. What level of sales would generate $1,275,000 in net income? If necessary, round your answer to the nearest dollar at the end of the calculations.
