a. prepare the merchandise purchases budget for each month in columnar form.

Sales for the month of May is given - $800,000

Since it increases by 5%,

Sales for June = $800,000 x 1.05 = $840,000

COGS: Sales x 75% = $800,000 x .75 = $600,000 (May)

= $840,000 x .75 = $630,000 (June)

Ending Inventory: COGS from next month x 10% = $630,000 x .10 = $63,000 (May)

= $661,500 x .10 = $66,150 (June)

Beginning Inventory: COGS x 10% = $600,000 x .10 = $60,000 (May)
