You are the president of Campus Sweaters, Inc. Campus Sweaters manufacturers wool pullover v-neck sweaters of various sizes and colors. You are preparing the budgets for the first quarter of 2016 (January, February, and March). You have the following historical and projected sales in units:

Actual or Projected	Month	Units
Actual	November	9,000
Actual	December	8,000
Projected	January	11,000
Projected	February	10,000
Projected	March	6,000
Projected	April	7,000

It takes ten skeins of yarn to make one sweater. Each skein costs $1.30. Past experience shows you need to have enough sweaters on-hand to fill the next month and one-half of sales (approximately forty-five days). Also, you need enough yarn to manufacture the next month’s production.

You will have 12,000 sweaters in finished inventory and 80,000 skeins of yarn in raw materials inventory as of December 31, 2015. You purchased $90,000 of yarn in December that must be paid for in January. The Company incurred $7,500 of overhead cost during December 2015, and $13,500 of selling expenses in the last half of December. These also must be paid in January. The company policy is to pay prior month's charges on account on the tenth day of the following month unless otherwise designated.
