Wesley Power Tools manufactures a wide variety of tools and accessories. One of its more popular items is a cordless power handisaw. Each handisaw sells for $58. Wesley expects the following unit sales:

January	5,000
February	5,200
March	5,700
April	5,500
May	4,900

Wesley’s ending finished goods inventory policy is 25 percent of the next month’s sales.

Suppose each handisaw takes approximately 0.60 hours to manufacture, and Wesley pays an average labor wage of $20 per hour.

Manufacturing overhead for this product includes $72,000 annual fixed overhead (based on production of 27,000 units) and $1.20 per unit variable manufacturing overhead. Wesley’s selling expenses are 7 percent of sales dollars, and administrative expenses are fixed at $18,000 per month.
