You have just been contracted as a new management trainee by Earrings Unlimited, a distributor of earrings to various retail outlets across the country. In the past, the company has done very little in the way of budgeting and at certain times of the year has experienced a shortage of cash.

Since you are well trained in budgeting, you have decided to make a master budget for the upcoming second quarter. To this end, you have worked with accounting and other areas to gather the information assembled below.

The company sells many styles of earrings, but all are sold for the same price - $10 per pair. Actual sales of earrings for the last three months and budgeted sales for the next six months follow:

January (actual) 20,000 February (actual) 26,000 March (actual) 40,000 April (budget) 65,000 May (budget) 100,000 June (budget) 50,000 July (budget) 30,000 August (budget) 28,000 September (budget) 25,000
