Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

       Current Year    Next Year

Q1   2,000 boats      2,040 boats (2,000 * 1.02)

Q2  2,400 boats      2,448 boats (2,400 * 1.02)

Q3   1,800 boats      1,836 boats (1,800 * 1.02)

Q4   1,200 boats      1,224 boats (1,200 * 1.02)

Expected increase per quarter = 2% cumulatively

Selling price per boat = $5,000

Expected increase in selling price = 4% ($200)

New selling price per boat = $5,200

The sales revenue forecast for Q4 next year would be = $6,364,800 ($5,200 * 1,224)
