As part of the continued advancement of technology, a drone camera market has emerged in recent years. The drone camera market has been growing as more photography enthusiasts have begun adopted this high-tech approach to capturing still images and video using remotely controlled devices. Eager to capture a share of this growing market, Drone Dynamics entered the market in early 2019. Drone Dynamics manufacturescamera drones, selling primarily to retailers. Drone Dynamics is pleased with its financial performance over its first few years of operations, optimistic to achieve continued financial success. For planning and control purposes the company utilizes a monthly master budget, which is usually developed at least three months in advance of the budget year. The company has a fiscal year ending December 31. It is now Sept 15, 2020. You have been asked to prepare the Master Budget for the year ending December 31,2021. Based on your discussions with the various departments throughout the company, you have collected the following relevant information for preparing the budget: Sales 1. The marketing department is forecasting the following annual sales: - For the year ended December 31, 2020: 9,000 units at $1,000 each* - For the year ended December 31, 2021: 10,000 units at $1,000 each - For the year ended December 31, 2022: 15,000 units at $1,000 each * Expected sales for the year ended December 31, 2020 were based on actual sales to date and budgeted sales for the duration of the year. 2.

History shows that January is the slowest month, with only 1% of annual sales, followed closely behind by Feb-April with 2% of annual sales for each month. Sales spike during summer months with May, June, July, and August contributing 12%,15%,12%, and 10% of annual sales respectively. With the back-to-school focus in September, there is a significant dip in camera drone sales to 3% of annual sales.

This rate already includes the employer's portion of employee benefits. 5. Each camera drone requires 1.25kg of direct materials. The average cost ofdirect materials is $57/kg. The supplier of the direct materials tends to be somewhat erratic, so Drone Dynamics finds it necessary to maintain a direct materials inventory balance equal to 40% of the following month's production needs as a precaution against stock-outs. 6. Due to the similarity of the equipment in each of the production stages and the company's concentration on a single product, manufacturing overhead is allocated based on volume (i.e. the units produced).
