Manning Company produces a variety of labels, including iron-on name labels, which are sold to parents of camp-bound children. (The camps require campers to have their name on every article of clothing.) Each roll consists of 25 yards of paper strip with 1,000 copies of the child's name. Each yard of paper strip costs $0.30. Manning has budgeted production of the label rolls for the next four months as follows:

Inventory policy requires that sufficient paper strip be in ending monthly inventory to satisfy 20 percent of the following month's production needs. The inventory of paper strip at the beginning of March equals exactly the amount needed to satisfy the inventory policy.
