INCOME STATEMENT

Edmonds Industries is forecasting the following income statement:

Sales	$9,000,000
Operating costs excluding depreciation & amortization	4,950,000
EBITDA	$4,050,000
Depreciation and amortization	540,000
EBIT	$3,510,000
Interest	450,000
EBT	$3,060,000
Taxes (40%)	1,224,000
Net income	$1,836,000

The CEO would like to see higher sales and a forecasted net income of $2,937,600. Assume that operating costs (excluding depreciation and amortization) are 55% of sales and that depreciation and amortization and interest expenses will increase by 9%. The tax rate, which is 40%, will remain the same. (Note that while the tax rate remains constant, the taxes paid will change.) What level of sales would generate $2,937,600 in net income? If necessary, round your answer to the nearest dollar at the end of the calculations. $
