Gorka, Inc. produces a single product that sells for $125. Variable expenses are $25 and fixed expenses are $450,000 per month. The company sold 6,000 units in April and anticipates monthly sales to remain at that level throughout the remainder of the year. The marketing manager believes the company can increase the number of units sold by having a portion of the sales staff salaries be dependent on sales volume. The manager has suggested a commission of $10 per unit. In exchange, the sales staff would accept a decrease in their total monthly salaries of $50,000 per month. The marketing manager predicts that introducing this sales incentive would increase monthly sales by 200 units.
What would be the expected effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change?

- Use the following (very simplified) numbers in creating your pro-forma income statement: Sales start at $1000 for January and increase by 10% per month (so, February sales will be $1100, March sales will be $1210, etc.). The venture uses a markup of 100%, so the cost of goods is 50% of the sales amount (so, January cost of goods is $500, February cost of goods is $550, etc.). The venture pays a salary of $500/month for the first 6 months, then hires an additional employee in July and pays $1000/month for the rest of the year. The venture pays a total overhead cost (including rent, utilities, and insurance) of $50/month. Payroll taxes start out at $20/month for January-June, then increase to $40/month for July-December. The venture's assets depreciate by $10/month. Office expenses are $15/month for January-April, increase to $25/month for May-August, and go back down to $15/month for September-Decemberarrow_forwardThe management of Pacubas Corporation expects sales in July to be $121,000.
