The Preparation of the sales budget and the computation of the amount of total sales revenue for the year is shown below:-

Sales Budget  For Year 1  

Quarter     Number of   Sale price (B)     Sales Revenue

                 Units (A)                                   (A) × (B)

1                      5,000              $50              $250,000

2                      5,250             $50              $262,500

(5,000 × 105%)

3                     5,513                $50             $275,650

(5,250 × 105%)

(5,513 × 105%)

Total                                                        $1,077,600
