A company generates $5,000,000 in sales by selling 1.250,000 units at $4 per unit. Its variable costs equal 75 percent of sales and its fixed costs are $750,000. Therefore, the company's operating income (EBIT) equals $500,000. The company estimates that if its EBIT were to increase 10 percent, its net income and EPS would increase 25.0 percent. How much will net income and EPS increase if sales increase by 10 percent? (Assume that the change in sales will have no effect on the company's tax rate.)
