Sales                                                                     575,000

Cost of sales                                                       (240,000)  

Gross income                                                       335,000

Administrative expenses                                      (70,000)

Selling and distribution exp.:

Sales commissions                    (50,000)

Freight out                                  (15,000)            (65,000)  

Operating income                                              200,000

Interest income:

Interest revenue                                                   25,000

Other expenses:

Uncollectible accounts expense                         (15,000)

Loss on sale of equipment                                   (10,000)

Loss on early retirement of LT debt                    (20,000)  

Income before tax                                                 180,000

Tax ($180,000 * 30%)                                           (54,000)

Income after tax                                                   126,000
