Chap 14 part 2

Mario's Record Shop, a retail store, has an average gross profit ratio of 30 percent. The sales forecast for the next four months follows:

September	$65,000
October	$82,000
November	$96,000
December	$102,000

Mario's inventory policy is to have ending inventory equal to 1.25 times the cost of sales for the subsequent month, although it is estimated that the cost of inventory at August 31 will be $85,000. Calculate the purchases budget, in dollars, for the months of September, October, and November.
