Kokomochi is considering the launch of an advertising campaign for its latest dessert product, the Mini Mochi Munch. Kokomochi plans to spend $5.00 million on TV, radio, and print advertising this year for the campaign. The ads are expected to boost sales of the Mini Mochi Munch by $9.00 million this year and $7.00 million next year. In addition, the company expects that new consumers who try the Mini Mochi Munch will be more likely to try Kokomochi's other products. As a result, sales of other products are expected to rise by $2.00 million each year. Kokomochi's gross profit margin for the Mini Mochi Munch is 35%, and its gross profit margin averages 25% for all other products. The company's marginal corporate tax rate is 35% both this year and next year. What are the incremental earnings associated with the advertising campaign? Note: Assume that the company has adequate positive income to take advantage of the tax benefits provided by any net losses associated with this campaign. Calculate the incremental earnings for year 1 below: (Round to three decimal places.) Year 1 Incremental Earnings Forecast ($ million) Sales of Mini Mochi Munch $ Other Sales $ Cost of Goods Sold $ $ Gross Profit Selling, General, and Administrative Depreciation $ $ EBIT $ Income Tax at 35% $ Incremental Earnings $
