Four grams of musk oil are required for each bottle of Mink

Four grams of musk oil are required for each bottle of Mink Caress, a very popular perfume made by a small company in western Siberia. The cost of the musk oil is $2.10 per gram. Budgeted production of Mink Caress is given below by quarters for Year 2 and for the first quarter of Year 3:

Musk oil has become so popular as a perfume ingredient that it has become necessary to carry large inventories as a precaution against stock-outs. For this reason, the inventory of musk oil at the end of a quarter must be equal to 20% of the following quarter’s production needs. Some 78,400 grams of musk oil will be on hand to start the first quarter of Year 2.

I keep getting my answers wrong... Please explain and bold all answers. Thanks
