Answer:
d. Sales in Dollars February = $180353
Explanation:
The new Sales or the sales budgeted for January will be 3% higher than that for December. If December sales were of 10000 units, then the January sales will be of 10000 * 103% = 10300 units.
The budgeted sales for February will be 103% of January sales.
Budgeted sales- Feb = 10300 * 103% = 10609 units
The selling price is assumed to stay constant at $17 per stapler.
Sales in Dollar-February = 10609 * 17 = $180353
