Executive officers of Solomon Company are wrestling with their budget for the next year. The following are two different sales estimates provided by two difference sources:

Source of Estimate	First Quarter			Second Quarter			Third Quarter			Fourth Quarter
Sales manager	$	384,000		$	315,000		$	282,000		$	483,000
Marketing consultant		525,000			458,000			412,000			648,000

Solomons past experience indicates that cost of goods sold is about 65 percent of sales revenue. The company tries to maintain 15 percent of the next quarters expected cost of goods sold as the current quarters ending inventory. This years ending inventory is $22,000. Next years ending inventory is budgeted to be $23,000.
