Glory Sports Ltd is a local company that manufactures sportswear. Its finance manager is considering setting up a budgeting system, and is preparing a production budget for the three months in the next quarter from July to September 2020.

In the current quarter from April to June 2020, production will be constrained by a lack of direct labour and no inventories will be carried. As from July 2019 onwards, direct labour will no longer be a constraint due to recruitment of more workers. Building work will also be completed and the firm will once again be able to carry inventories.

After detailed analysis on the market environment, the company expects to be able to sell 15,000 shirts and 20,000 shorts each month from 1 July 2020. Sales volumes are then expected to grow at 2% per month cumulatively thereafter throughout the next 12 months up to 30 June 2021. The estimated costs and revenues per garment are as follows:
