The company com plated the first year of operations, and the shareholders are generally pleased with operating results as shown by the following income statement: Bill Hildebrand, the controller, is considering how to expand the business. He proposes two ways to increase profits to $100,000 during 2018. a. Hildebrand believes he should advertise more heavily. He believes additional advertising costing 320,000 will increase net sales by 30% and leave administrative expense unchanged.

An importer can supply a minimum of 1,000 dresses for $40 each; Party-Time can mark these dresses up 100% and sell them for $80. Hildebrand…
