    Budgeted Sales Revenue for the third quarter of 2016:

    The budgeted sales revenue = $88,200 (441 x $200)

    Explanation:

    If First Quarter Sales = 400 units

    Second Quarter Sales = 420 units (400 x 1.05)

    Therefore, Third Quarter Sales = 441 units (420 x 1.05)

    Another way to work it out is to compound the rate for two years:

    (1.05) ⁿ = (1.05) ∧2 = 1.1025

    Sales in first quarter = 400 x $200 = $80,000

    Sales in third quarter = $80,000 x 1.1025 = $88,200

    The compounding of the rate of increase yield a compound factor that can be applied to the value of the sales in the first quarter to arrive at a sales value for the third quarter without working out the sales value for the second quarter also.
