Sales....................................................................................................... $1,500,000
Less: Variable costs...$450,000
Fixed costs...............550,000 (550,000 + 450,000= 1,000,000)
Earnings before interest and taxes................................................................500,000
Less: interest expense...............................................................................100,000
