Olympus, Inc., manufactures three models of mattresses: the Sleepeze, the Plushette, and the Ultima. Forecast sales for next year are 15,000 for the Sleepeze, 12,000 for the Plushette, and 5,000 for the Ultima. Gene Dixon, vice president of sales, has provided the following information:

Salaries for his office (including himself at $65,000, a marketing research assistant at $40,000, and an administrative assistant at $25,000) are budgeted for $130,000 next year.

Depreciation on the offices and equipment is $20,000 per year.

Office supplies and other expenses total $21,000 per year.

Advertising has been steady at $20,000 per year. However, the Ultima is a new product and will require extensive advertising to educate consumers on the unique features of this high-end mattress. Gene believes the company should spend 15 percent of first-year Ultima sales for a print and television campaign.

Commissions on the Sleepeze and Plushette lines are 5 percent of sales. These commissions are paid to independent jobbers who sell the mattresses to retail stores.

Last year, shipping for the Sleepeze and Plushette lines averaged $50 per unit sold. Gene expects the Ultima line to ship for $75 per unit sold since this model features a larger mattress.

Suppose that Gene is considering three sales scenarios as follows:

	Pessimistic			Expected			Optimistic
	Price	Quantity		Price	Quantity		Price	Quantity
Sleepeze	$180	12,500		$200	15,000		$200	18,000
Plushette	300	10,000		350	12,000		360	14,000
Ultima	900	2,000		1,000	5,000		1,200	5,000

Suppose Gene determines that next year's Sales Division activities include the following:

Researchresearching current and future conditions in the industry Shippingarranging for shipping of mattresses and handling calls from purchasing agents at retail stores to trace shipments and correct errors Jobberscoordinating the efforts of the independent jobbers who sell the mattresses Basic adsplacing print and television ads for the Sleepeze and Plushette lines Ultima adschoosing and working with the advertising agency on the Ultima account Office managementoperating the Sales Division office

The percentage of time spent by each employee of the Sales Division on each of the above activities is given in the following table:

	Gene	Research Assistant	Administrative Assistant
Research		75%
Shipping	30%		20%
Jobbers	15	10	20
Basic ads		15	40
Ultima ads	30		5
Office management	25		15

Additional information is as follows:

Depreciation on the office equipment belongs to the office management activity.

Of the $21,000 for office supplies and other expenses, $5,000 can be assigned to telephone costs which can be split evenly between the shipping and jobbers' activities. An additional $2,400 per year is attributable to Internet connections and fees, and the bulk of these costs (80 percent) are assignable to research. The remainder is a cost of office management. All other office supplies and costs are assigned to the office management activity.

Required:

1. Prepare an activity-based budget for next year by activity. Use the expected level of sales activity.
