$7.$ If the proposal is accepted and sales remain at the current level, what will the operating income or loss be for the following year?

$8.$ Based on the data given, would you recommend accepting the proposal?

a$.$ In favor of the proposal because of the reduction in break$-$even point.

b$.$ In favor of the proposal because of the possibility of increasing income from operations.

c$.$ In favor of the proposal because of the increase in break$-$even point.

d$.$ Reject the proposal because if future sales remain at the current level, the income from operations will increase.

e$.$ Reject the proposal because the sales necessary to maintain the current income from operations would be below the current year sales.
