Step-by-step explanation:

The Pro- forma income Statement

Working Note:

Variable cost = Sales × 44%

= $585,000 × 44%

= $257,400

EBT (Earnings before Tax) = Sales - Variable cost - fixed cost - depreciation

= $585,000 - $257,400 - $187,000 - $51,000

= $89,600

Net Income = EBT × Tax rate

= $89,600 × 21%

= $70,784
