DeSOTO TOOLS, INC.
Sales		\(1,500,000
Less: Variable cost	\)450,000
Fixed cost	550,000	1,000,000
Earning before interest and taxes		\(500,000
Less: Interest expenses		100,000

Less: Taxes @34%		136,000
Earning after taxes		\(264,000
Shares		100,000

After the expansion, sales are expected to increase by \(1,000,000. Variable costs will remain at 30 percent of sales, and fixed costs will increase to \)800,000. The tax rate is 34 percent.
