CANTON CORPORATIONIncome Statement for 20X1Sales $126,000 (10,500 units at $12.00)Cost of goods sold 73,500 (10,500 units at $7.00)Gross profit $52,500 Selling and administrative expense 7,560 Depreciation 12,700 Operating profit $32,240 Taxes (30%) 9,672 Aftertax income $22,568 Assume in 20X2 the same 10,500-unit volume is maintained, but that the sales price increases by 10 percent. Because of FIFO inventory policy, old inventory will still be charged off at $7.00 per unit. Also assume selling and administrative expense will be 6 percent of sales and depreciation will be unchanged. The tax rate is 30 percent. Compute aftertax income for 20X2.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

CANTON CORPORATION Income Statement for 20X1

Sales $126,000 (10,500 units at $12.00)  

Cost of goods sold 73,500 (10,500 units at $7.00)

Gross profit $52,500

Selling and administrative expense 7,560

Depreciation 12,700

Operating profit $32,240

Taxes (30%) 9,672

After Tax income $22,568

20x2:

Selling price = $13.20 ($12 x 1.1)

Sales (10,500 units at $13.20)  = $138,600

Cost of goods sold (10,500 units at $7.00) = $73,500

Selling and administrative expense = 6% of $138,600 = $8,316
