Computation of the budgeted sales for 2016:-

Selling price per unit = Sales / Number of units sold

= $960,000 / 160,000

= $6 per units

New selling price = $6 * (1 + 12.5%)

= $6.75

New sales volume = Number of units sold * (1 - Decrease in sales volume)

= 160,000 * (1 - 9%)

= 145,600 units

Budgeted sales = New sales volume * New selling price

= 145,600 * $6.75

= $982,800
