How do you expect the page count to change with a tab?

Last year the smallest broadsheet product was 6 pages.
Expect 12 to be the lowest page count of the Daily Skiff in the 2010 - 2011 school year.
Just like in the broadsheet, as advertising increases or big news stories break, the page count will increase.
But with a tabloid product the pages will increase in multiples of four.
That means the paper will jump from a 12 to a 16, 20, 24, 30, 36, 40 or 48-page product.
