Oriole Industries had sales in 2021 of $5,608,000 and gross profit of $1,110,000. Management is considering two alternative budget plans to increase its gross profit in 2022. Plan A would increase the selling price per unit from $8.00 to $8.40. Sales volume would decrease by 10% from its 2021 level. Plan B would decrease the selling price per unit by $0.50. The marketing department expects that the sales volume would increase by 101,000 units. At the end of 2021, Oriole has 38,000 units of inventory on hand. If Plan A is accepted, the 2022 ending inventory should be equal to 5% of the 2022 sales. If Plan B is accepted, the ending inventory should be equal to 59,000 units. Each unit produced will cost $1.80 in direct labour, $1.30 in direct materials, and $1.10 in variable overhead. The fixed overhead for 2022 should be $1,890,000.

Prepare a sales budget for 2022 under each plan. (Round the selling price per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25.)
