t oadvertize there is 1,435,164.80   dollars available.

Explanation:

Sales: 9,815,000 x (1 + 4.5%)  =  10,256,675.00

general expenses are 41% of sales but will decay by 1.5%

10,256,675 x (0.41) x (1 - 0.015) =  4,142,158.20  

Profit will increase by 2%

4,587,600 x (1 + 2%) = 4,679,352

The amount available for advertizing spending is the difference between sales and the cost and profit:

sales - expenses - advertizing = profit

sales - expenses - profit = advertizing

advertizing = 10,256,675.00  - 4,142,158.20    - 4,679,352

advertizing = 1,435,164.80
