Prepare forecasted financial results for next year following the format of the contribution margin income statement as shown here with columns for each of the two products (assume a 35% tax rate, and that any loss before taxes yields a 35% tax savings).


3. Assume that the company expects sales of each product to increase to 190,000 units next year with no change in the unit sales prices. Prepare forecasted financial results for next year following the format of the contribution margin income statement as shown here with columns for each of the two products (assume a 35% tax rate).
