Caribbean Kayaks (CK) Maritza (which means "star of the sea") Joseph is preparing the 2022 budget for one of CK's kayaks. Extensive meetings with members of the sales department and executive management team have resulted in the following unit sales projections for 2022. Quarter 1 1,350 kayaks Quarter 2 1,300 kayaks Quarter 3 1,100 kayaks Quarter 4 950 kayaks CK's policy is to have finished goods ending inventory in a quarter equal to 15% of the next quarter's anticipated sales. Preliminary sales projections for 2023 are 1,250 units for the first quarter and 1,5s0 units for the second quarter. Ending inventory of finished goods at December 31, 2021, will be 250 kayaks. Production of each kayak requires 65 pounds of polyethylene powder and a finishing kit (rope, seat, hardware, etc.). Company policy is that the ending inventory of polyethylene powder should be 20% of the amount needed for production in the next quarter. Assume that the ending inventory of polyethylene powder on December 31, 2021, is 17,600 pounds. The finishing kits are outsourced and can be purchased as they are needed. As a result, CK does not maintain a material amount of finishing kit inventory. The polyethylene powder used in these kayaks' costs $1.85 per pound, and the finishing kits cost $160 each. Production of a single kayak requires 2.5 hours of time by more experienced, type A employees and 4.2 hours of less-experienced type B employees. The type A employees are paid $30 per hour, and the type B employees are paid $15 per hour. Selling and administrative expenses for this line are expected to be $85 per unit sold plus $7,100 per quarter. Manufacturing overhead is assigned at 130% of labor costs,
