   Feedback

   The Sales Budget is the projection approved by the budget committee that describes expected sales for each product in units and dollars. The sales budget must be constructed first, before other budgets can be constructed.

   2. What if FlashKick added a third line—tournament quality soccer balls that were expected to take 40 percent of the units sold of the match balls and would have a selling price of $45 each in January and February, and $48 each in March? Prepare a sales budget for FlashKick for the first three months of the coming year. Show total sales for each product line by month and in total for the first quarter. If required, round your answers to the nearest cent.
