The cost of its product will remain at $60 per unit, the sales staff will continue to earn a 10% commission, and the remaining expenses will stay the same. Required: 1. Prepare budgeted income statements for each of the months of January, February, and March that show results from implementing the proposed plan. 2. For the proposed plan, is income in March budgeted to be higher than income in December?
