Pialligo Stationery has changed from being a traditional stationery company to a producer of compact flash disks which it markets as a portable and reliable data storage solution. The Budget Director Jane Good is preparing to build its master budget for the coming year (2005). The budget will detail each quarter's activity and the activity for the year in total. The master budget will be based on the following information.

First quarter 13,000
Second quarter 15,000
