"I'll never understand this accounting stuff," Blake Dunn yelled, waving the income statement he had just received from his accountant in the morning mail. "Last month, we sold 2,000 stuffed State University mascots and earned \$6,565 in operating income. This month, when we sold 3,000 I thought we'd make $9,848. But this income statement shows an operating income of $11,615 ! How can I ever make plans if I can't predict my income? I'm going to give Janice one last chance to explain this to me," he declared as he picked up the phone to call Janice Miller, his accountant. "Will you try to explain this operating income thing to me one more time?" Blake asked Janice. "After I saw last month's income statement, I thought each mascot we sold generated $3.28 in net income; now this month, each one generates $3.87 ! There was no change in the cost we paid for each mascot, so I don't understand how this happened. If I had known I was going to have \$11,615 in operating income, I would have looked more seriously at adding to our product line." Taking a deep breath, Janice replied, "Sure, Blake. I'd be happy to explain how you made so much more operating income than you were expecting." Blake wasn't happy with the projected income statement you showed him for a sales level of 1,500 stuffed mascots. He wants to know how many stuffed mascots he will need to sell to earn $5,555 in operating income. (Round per unit to 2 decimal places and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.) mascots As a safety net, he also wants to know how many stuffed mascots he will need to sell to break even.

(Round per unit answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 52.75.) Your answer is correct. Blake plans to sell 1,500 stuffed mascots next month.

Operating income Just after Blake completed an income projection for 2,200 stuffed mascots, his supplier called to inform him of a 10% increase in cost of goods sold, effective immediately. Blake knows that he cannot pass the entire increase on to his customers, but thinks he can pass on half of the 10% increase while suffering only a 10% decrease in units sold. Calculate the operating income? (Round per unit to 2 decimal places and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275.) New projection with sales price increase $ New projection without sales price increase $ Your answer is partially correct. Blake is evaluating two options to increase the number of mascots sold next month. First, he believes he can increase sales by advertising in the university newspaper. Blake can purchase a package of 12 ads over the next month for a total of $1,500. He believes the ads will increase the number of stuffed mascots sold from 1,500 to 2,200. A second option would be to reduce the selling price. Blake believes a 15% decrease in the price will result in 2,400 mascots sold. Calculate the operating income for each options?
