Management expects June's results to be repeated in July, August, and September without any changes in strategy. Management, however, has another plan. It believes that unit sales will increase at a rate of 10% each month for the next three months (beginning with July) if the item's selling price is reduced to $ 115 per unit and advertising expenses are increased by 25% and remain at that level for all three months. The cost of its product will remain at $ 60 per unit, the sales staff will continue to earn a 10% commission, and the remaining expenses will stay the same.
Required:
1. Prepare budgeted income statements for each of the months of July, August, and September that show the expected results from implementing the proposed changes. Use a three-column format, with one column for each month. Analysis Component:
2. Use the budgeted income statements from part 1 to recommend whether management should implement the proposed plan. Explain.
