Edmonds Industries is forecasting the following income statement:
Sales | $7,000,000 |
Operating costs excluding depreciation & amortization | 3,850,000 |
EBITDA | $3,150,000 |
Depreciation and amortization | 350,000 |
EBIT | $2,800,000 |
Interest | 700,000 |
EBT | $2,100,000 |
Taxes (25%) | 525,000 |
Net income | $1,575,000 |
The CEO would like to see higher sales and a forecasted net income of $1,920,000. Assume that operating costs (excluding depreciation and amortization) are 55% of sales and that depreciation and amortization and interest expenses will increase by 14%. The tax rate, which is 25%, will remain the same. (Note that while the tax rate remains constant, the taxes paid will change.) What level of sales would generate $1,920,000 in net income? Round your answer to the nearest dollar, if necessary.
