The net income answer provided last time I asked this was wrong. Please check the net income and show me how you got the answer. I don't understand how it is wrong.
James was a marketing major in college. He believes that sales volume can be increased only by intensive advertising and
promotional campaigns. He therefore proposed the following plan as an alternative to Mary's: (1) increase unit variable selling
expenses to $0.550,(2) lower the unit selling price by $0.30, and (3) increase fixed selling expenses by $50,000. James quoted an
old marketing research report that said that sales volume would increase by 62% if these changes were made.
Compute net income under James's proposal and the break-even point in sales dollars. (Round intermediate calculations to 2 decimal
places, e.g.15.25 and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g.2,520.)
The condensed income statement for the Mary and James partnership for 2025 is as follows.
