The company has just hired a new marketing manager who insists that unit sales can be dramatically increased by dropping the selling price from $8 to $7. The marketing manager would like to use the following projections in the budget:

a. What are the total expected cash collections for the year under this revised budget? What is the total required production for the year under this revised budget?

b. What is the total cost of raw materials to be purchased for the year under this revised budget?

c. What are the total expected cash disbursements for raw materials for the year under this revised budget?

d. After seeing this revised budget, the production manager cautioned that due to the current production constraint, a complex milling machine, the plant can produce no more than 90,000 units in any one quarter. Is this a potential problem?
