Management expects Decembers results to be repeated in January, February, and March of 2018 without any changes in strategy. Management, however, has an alternative plan. It believes that unit sales will increase at a rate of 10% each month for the next three months (beginning with January) if the item's selling price is reduced to $118 per unit and advertising expenses are increased by 20% and remain at that level for all three months. The cost of its product will remain at $60 per unit, the sales staff will continue to earn a 10% commission, and the remaining expenses will stay the same. Required: Prepare budgeted income statements for each of the months of January, February, and March that show the expected results from implementing the proposed changes.
