Harlow Promotions, Inc. sells T-shirts for concerts. The company has developed the following budget for the coming year based on a sales forecast of 80,000 T-shirts:

Operating Income 220,000
Income Taxes (30% of operating income) 66,000
Net Income $ 154,000

Cost of goods sold and variable operating expenses vary directly with sales, and the income tax rate is 30% at all levels of operating income.
