Question 1
Selena is to start business on 1 May selling rice cookers. She believes that she will sell
300 cookers in May and that her monthly sales will increase by 20 per cent on the
previous month’s budgeted sales until the end of the year.
Inventory is to be maintained at ten per cent of the following month’s budgeted
sales.
Note
● A 20 per cent increase in sales in July would result in August sales of 518.4
rice cookers. It is impossible to sell 0.4 of a cooker! So sales for August will be
predicted to be 519 rice cookers.
● Likewise, inventory held at 31 July could not be 51.84 cookers – Selena has to
keep whole cookers as inventory! Closing inventory at 31 July is therefore 52 rice
cookers.

Prepare a purchases budget for the three months ending 31 July.
