Cloud Shoes manufactures recovery sandals and is planning on producing 12,000 units in March and 11,500 in April. Each sandal requires 1.2 yards of material, which costs $3.00 per yard. The company's policy is to have enough material on hand to equal 15% of next month's production needs and to maintain a finished goods inventory equal to 20% of the next month's production needs.

PLEASE NOTE: Units are rounded to whole numbers with commas as needed (i.e. 1,234). All dollar amounts are rounded to whole dollars and shown with "$" and commas as needed (i.e. $12,345), except for any "per" amounts (units or dollars), which are rounded to two decimal places and shown with "$" and commas as needed (i.e. $1,234.56)
