Jacob Long, the controller of Arvada Corporation, is trying to prepare a sales budget for the coming year. The income statements for the last four quarters follow:

First Quarter Second Quarter Third Quarter Fourth Quarter Total
Sales revenue $ 90,000 $ 100,000 $ 105,000 $ 130,000 $ 425,000
Cost of goods sold 54,000 60,000 63,000 78,000 255,000
Gross profit 36,000 40,000 42,000 52,000 170,000
Selling & administrative expenses 8,500 10,000 10,500 13,000 42,000
Net income $ 27,500 $ 30,000 $ 31,500 $ 39,000 $ 128,000

Historically, cost of goods sold is about 60 percent of sales revenue. Selling and administrative expenses are about 10 percent of sales revenue.

Fred Arvada, the chief executive officer, told Mr. Long that he expected sales next year to be 8 percent for each respective quarter above last year’s level. However, Rita Banks, the vice president of sales, told Mr. Long that she believed sales growth would be only 5 percent.
