Front Page Video Games Corporation has forecasted the following monthly sales:

January $98,000 July $43,000
February 91,000 August 43,000
March 23,000 September 53,000
April 23,000 October 83,000
May 18,000 November 103,000
June 33,000 December 121,000
Total sales = $732,000

The firm sells its Last Spike video game for $5 per unit, and the cost to produce the game is $2 per unit. A level production policy is followed. Each month's production is equal to annual sales (in units) divided by 12.

Of each month's sales, 40 percent are for cash and 60 percent are on account. All accounts receivable are collected in the month after the sale is made.

a. Construct a monthly production and inventory schedule in units. Beginning inventory in January is 23,000 units. (Note: To do part a, you should work in terms of units of production and units of sales.)
