Assume in 2011 the same 11,800-unit volume is maintained, but the sales price increases by 10 percent. Because of FIFO inventory policy, old inventory will still be charged off at $7.00 per unit. Also assume selling and administrative expense will be 6 percent of sales and depreciation will be unchanged. The tax rate is 30 percent. Compute after tax income for 2011. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

(c)

Now assume that in 2012 the volume remains constant at 11,800 units, but the sales price decreases by 15 percent from its year 2011 level. Also, because of FIFO inventory policy, cost of goods sold reflects the inflationary conditions of the prior year and is $7.50 per unit. Further, assume selling and administrative expense will be 6 percent of sales and depreciation will be unchanged. The tax rate is 30 percent. Compute the after tax income. (Round your sales price to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest dollar amount. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
