The budgeted sales revenue for the third quarter of the current year is $907,500

Explanation:

For computing the budgeted sales revenue for the third quarter, first, we have to compute the sales for the first and second quarter which equals to:

First quarter sales revenue = Sales units * sale price

= 5,000 * $150

= $750,000

Second quarter sales revenue = Sales units * sale price

= 5,500 * $150

= $825,000

For second quarter sales units, the units is increased by 10% which means

= 5,000 + 5,000 * 10%

= 5,000 + 500

= 5,500

Third quarter sales revenue = Sales units * sale price

= 6,050 * $150

= $907,500

For third quarter sales units, the units is increased by 10% which means

= 5,500 + 5,500 * 10%

= 5,500 + 550

= 6,050 units

Hence, the budgeted sales revenue for the third quarter of the current year is $907,500
