Office salaries $ 74,000 per month

Depreciation $ 49,000 per month

Interest 11 % annually on a $270,000 note payable

Sales = Number of units for first quarter   × price per unit

= (39,000 + 59,000 + 49,000) × $25

= $3,675,000

Cost of goods = (39,000 + 59,000 + 49,000) × $12

= $1,764,000

Commissions expense = 11 % of sales = 11% × $3,675,000 = $404,250

Advertising expense = 12 % of sales = 12% × $3,675,000 = $441,000

Interest expense = 11 % annually on a $270,000

= 11% × 270,000 × 3/12

= $ 7,425

Income = Gross profit - total operating expenses

= $1,911,000  - $1,281,675

= $629,325

Income tax expenses = 40% × $629,325 = $251,730
