Each tent requires 15 yards of nylon and 3 pounds of plastic to produce, and each backpack uses 2 yards of nylon and 0.5 pounds of plastic. The company expects to sell the tents for $245 per unit and the backpacks for $180 per unit in the third quarter. It has compiled the following budgeted sales data (in units) to use in preparing its operating budget for the third quarter of 2020:

	tent	backpack
July	10400	14500

At the start of July, the company has 2,800 tents and 4,200 backpacks in its finished goods inventory, and 18,100 yards of nylon and 8,200 pounds of plastic in its direct materials inventory.
