Connelly Inc., a manufacturer of quality electric ice cream makers, has experienced a steady growth in sales over the past few years. Because her business has grown, Jan DeJaney, the president, believes she needs an aggressive advertising campaign next year to maintain the companys growth. To prepare for the growth, the accountant prepared the following data for the current year: Variable costs per ice cream maker Direct labor $ 13.50 Direct materials 14.50 Variable overhead 6.00 Total variable costs $ 34.00 Fixed costs Manufacturing $ 82,500 Selling 42,000 Administrative 356,000 Total fixed costs $480,500 Selling price per unit $ 67.00 Expected sales (units) 30,000

Required 1. If the costs and sales price remain the same, what is the projected operating profit for the coming year?

2. What is the breakeven point in units for the coming year? (Round your answer up to the nearest whole number.)

3. Jan has set the sales target for 35,000 ice cream makers, which she thinks she can achieve by an additional fixed selling expense of $200,000 for advertising. All other costs remain as per the data in the above table. What will be the operating profit if the additional $200,000 is spent on advertising and sales rise to 35,000 units? Can you please solve this
