1. Sales: quarter 1, 27,400 bags; quarter 2, 42,300 bags. Selling price is $59 per bag.
2. Direct materials: each bag of Snare requires 5 pounds of Gumm at a cost of $4.00 per pound and 6 pounds of Tarr at $1.50 per pound.
3. Desired inventory levels:

July 1

Snare (bags) 7,600 12,900 17,100
Gumm (pounds) 9,000 11,100 12,500
Tarr (pounds) 13,500 19,200 25,500

4. Direct labor: direct labor time is 15 minutes per bag at an hourly rate of $16.00 per hour.
5. Selling and administrative expenses are expected to be 10% of sales plus $166,170 per quarter.
