Spelling has prepared the following sales budget for the quarter of April, May and June: Sales Budget April May June Total Sales in units 2100 2800 2400 7300 Selling price per unit x $20 x $20 x $20 Sales revenue $42000 $56000 $48000 $146000 Spelling's cost of goods sold is 60% of its sales revenue. The company has a policy that it keeps 30% of next months budgeted cost of goods sold as ending inventory. The company had exactly the budgeted amount of inventory on hand at April 1. Prepare a purchases budget on paper or, PREFERABLY, in Excel for the quarter of April, May and June. (If you build your schedule using formulas in excel, multiple attempts will be much faster.)

What is the budgeted cost of purchases in May? What is the desired cost of inventory at the end of the quarter? Hint: According to the rule that is July COGS x 30%.
