Hossa’s management was pleased that 20X2 net income was up 6.5% from the prior year. Although you are also happy with the increase in net income, you are not so sure the news is all positive. You have modeled Hossa’s income as follows:
NET INCOME = SALES × (1 − COGS% − OPEX%) × (1 − TAX RATE)
Using this model, net income in 20X1 is computed as $5,500 × (1 − 45% − 15%) × (1 − 22%) = $1,716.0. Net income in 20X2 is computed as $6,500 × (1 − 47% − 16%) × (1 − 24%) = $1,827.8.
