Elliott Trophies is subject to a 21 percent tax rate on income. Required: Given this information, how much will Elliott Trophies earn each year after taxes? Assuming the given sales mix is the same at the break-even point, at what sales revenue does Elliott Trophies break even? Assuming the given sales mix, at what sales revenue will the company earn $276,500 per year after taxes? Elliott Trophies is concerned about the future of the Celebrity trophy market, given recent cost-cutting by companies and is considering becoming more specialized in the Sport and Employee market.
