Jacobs desires to maintain an ending finished goods inventory equal to 20 percent of the following month's sales and a raw materials inventory equal to 10 percent of the following month's production. January 1, 2011, inventories are in line with these policies. Actual unit sales for December and budgeted unit sales for January, February, and March of 2011 are as follows:
