Part three: Gordon, Inc. makes toys and projects production to be 6100, 5900, 6000, and 5500 for the next four quarters. Direct materials are $8 per kit. Beginning Raw Material Inventory is $20,000 and the company desires to end each quarter with 25% of the material needed for the next two quarter's production. Direct Materials needed for production in the First Quarter of the following year is $45,000. Gordon desires a balance of $25,000 in Raw Materials Inventory at the end of the fourth quarter. Each kit requires 1.3 hours of direct labor at an average cost of $30 per hour. Each kit requires 1.25 machine hours. Manufacturing overhead is allocated using machine hours as the allocation base. Variable overhead is $50 per kit and fixed overhead is $30,000 in the first two quarters and $32,000 in the third and fourth quarter.

Prepare Gordon's direct material budget, direct labor budget, and manufacturing overhead budget for the year.
