1.	Compute the break-even point in dollar sales for year 2011. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
2.	Compute the predicted break-even point in dollar sales for year 2012 assuming the machine is installed and there is no change in the unit sales price. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answer to nearest dollar amount. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
3.	Prepare a forecasted contribution margin income statement for 2012 that shows the expected results with the machine installed. Assume that the unit sales price and the number of units sold (20,300 units) will not change, and no income taxes will be due. (Input all amounts as positive values. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
4.	Compute the sales level required in both dollars and units to earn $161,000 of after-tax income in 2012 with the machine installed and no change in the unit sales price. Assume that the income tax rate is 30%. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answers to the nearest whole number. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
5.	Prepare a forecasted contribution margin income statement that shows the results at the sales level computed in part 4. Assume an income tax rate of 30%. (Input all amounts as positive values. Round your "Sales level required in units" to nearest whole number. Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answers to the nearest whole number. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
