These steins must be ordered from the manufacturer three months in advance, and because of the unique emblem of each
school, they cannot be returned. The steins would cost Marbury $15 each, with a minimum order of 200 steins. Any additional
steins would have to be ordered in increments of 50.
Since Marbury’s plan would not require any additional facilities, the only costs associated with the project would be the cost of
the steins and the cost of sales commissions. The selling price of the steins would be $30 each. Marbury would pay the students
a commission of $6 for each stein sold.

level of sales in units and dollars is required to attain this target operating income? Show all computations.

2. What level of sales dollars is required to generate $12,000 in after-tax operating income if the tax rate is 20%?
