Question Three
Alon Company sells homes & kitchen appliances. The company has no sales force of its own, rather, it relies on independent sales agents to market its products. These agents require a 15% sales commission for all items sold.
Alon's budgeted income statement for the next year is as follows:
Alon Company
Budgeted Income Statement
For the Year Ended December 31
Recently, the management of Alon learned that their sales agents have been demanding a 20% sales commission, which could lower the company's profits, so the management is considering an alternative of getting their own internal sales force.
Based on their analysis, the company only needs to pay a 7.5% commission to their own sales people, along with a small salary. But they also need to handle all the promotion costs. The fixed marketing expenses would increase by $2,700,000 per year, but the company will also spend less on fixed administrative expenses by $85,000 a year.
The breakdown of the $2,700,000 cost follows:
