Allison Manufacturing produces a subassembly used in the production of jet aircraft engines. The assembly is sold to engine manufacturers and aircraft maintenance facilities. Projected sales in units for the coming 5 months follow:

January	40,000
February	50,000
March	60,000
April	60,000
May	62,000

The following data pertain to production policies and manufacturing specifications followed by Allison Manufacturing:

Finished goods inventory on January 1 is 32,000 units, each costing $166.06. The desired ending inventory for each month is 80% of the next month's sales.
The data on materials used are as follows:

Direct Material Per-Unit Usage DM Unit Cost ($)

Metal 10 lbs. 8

Components 6 5

Inventory policy dictates that sufficient materials be on hand at the end of the month to produce 50% of the next month's production needs. This is exactly the amount of material on hand on December 31 of the prior year.
The direct labor used per unit of output is 3 hours. The average direct labor cost per hour is $14.25.

Overhead each month is estimated using a flexible budget formula. (Note: Activity is measured in direct labor hours.)

The unit selling price of the subassembly is $205.
All sales and purchases are for cash. The cash balance on January 1 equals $400,000. The firm requires a minimum ending balance of $50,000. If the firm develops a cash shortage by the end of the month, sufficient cash is borrowed to cover the shortage.
