 Burton Manufacturing. Jason Stedman is the director of finance for Burton Manufacturing, a U.S.-based manufacturer of handheld computer systems for inventory management. Burton’s system combines a lowcost active tag that is attached to inventory items (the tag emits an extremely low-grade radio frequency) with custom designed hardware and software that tracks the low-grade emissions for inventory control. Burton has completed the sale of an inventory management system to a British firm, Pegg Metropolitan (UK), for a total payment of £1,000,000. The exchange rates shown at the bottom of this page were available to Burton on the dates shown, corresponding to the events of this specific export sale. Assume each month is 30 days.
