This should help increase sales. They also will be able to bargain for a better purchase price for their inventory, control their inventory more efficiently by adopting just-in-time inventory and by shipping all merchandise FOB Shipping Point. Presently, all merchandise is shipped FOB Destination. (Assume that the interest expense will remain the same in 2017). It is estimated that more creative marketing (in 2017) will enable Hercules to have a 20% increase in the Net Sales they had in 2016 by attracting new customers. Assume the new shipping terms (in 2017) will cause Hercules to have 15% decrease in the Net Sales they had in 2016. Due to intense negotiations, Hercules was able to reduce the cost of goods sold to 65% of Net Sales. Assume that Sales Salaries Expense, Advertising Expense, Office Salaries Expense and Office Supplies Expense will all increase by 10%. Assume that all sales representatives will now receive a 5% commission on every sales dollar. This will create a new expense that we will call Sales Commission Expense
