Income statement, rate increases
Hello,
Could someone help me with this. I have half done but got confussed. Please see the attached document. Thanks!
The questions are as follows:
1) Prepare a projected income statement for Metropolitan News for the 20X3-X4 fiscal year using a format that shows the total variable costs and total fixed costs for the newspaper (round calculations the nearest thousand dollars).
2) The management of Metropolitan News is contemplating one additional proposal for the 20X3-X4 fiscal year-raising the for the newspaper to the following amounts:
Single issue price: $0.20 daily; $0.40 Sunday
Weekly subscription: $1.25 (includes daily and Sunday)
The company estimates that the newspaper's circulation would decline to 90 percent of the currently anticipated 20X3-X4 level for both newsstand and home delivery sales if this change is initiated. Calculate the effect on the projected 20X3-X4 income if this proposed rate increase is implemented.
