Question

hello,
i would like assistance with the following...


a.The finished goods inventory on hand at the end of each month must be equal to 14,000 units of Supermix plus 20% of the next month's sales. The finished goods inventory on June 30 is budgeted to be 19,500 units.

b.The raw materials inventory on hand at the end of each month must be equal to one-half of the following month's production needs for raw materials. The raw materials inventory on June 30 is budgeted to be 97,500 cc of solvent H300.

c.The company maintains no work in process inventories.

A sales budget for Supermix for the last six months of the year follows.
