Mr. James, vice president of sales, is preparing the sales budget for 2014. Increased manufacturing costs will make it necessary to increase the selling price by 12 percent. Even with this price increase, the unit volume of sales is expected to increase by 25 percent. The seasonal sales pattern shown for 2013 is expected to continue in 2014.
Prepare the monthly sales unit and dollar budgets for the first quarter of 2014?
