1. Prepare a sales budget for January through May. The selling price per unit is $40.00.
December of the previous year 40,000
January 90,000
February 80,000
March 70,000
April 40,000
2. Prepare a purchases budget for January through March, and the first quarter in total. Assume that the company only sells one product that can be purchased at $15.00 per unit. The market for this product is very competitive and customers highly value service such as quality and on time delivery of the product. Also assume that currently it is company policy that ending inventory should equal 90% of next month’s projected sales.
I already did question #1, I need help with question #2.
