During its first year of operations, the SubRay Corporation produced the following income statement results:

Net sales ......... $300,000

Cost of goods sold ..... −180,000

Gross profit ......... 120,000

General and administrative .. −60,000

Marketing expenses ..... −60,000

Depreciation ........ −20,000

EBIT ........... −20,000

Interest expenses ...... −10,000

Earnings before taxes ..... −30,000

Income taxes ............ −0

Net earnings (loss) ..... −$ 30,000

Costs of goods sold are expected to vary with sales and be a constant percentage of sales. The general and administrative employees have been hired and are expected to remain a fixed cost. Marketing expenses are also expected to remain fixed because the current sales staff members are expected to remain on fixed salaries and no new hires are planned. The effective tax rate is expected to be 30 percent for a profitable firm.
