The desired ending FG inventory each month is to be 25% of the next month's budgeted sales. Each finished book requires 6 yards of wood pulp at $8 per yard and 3 ounces of ink at $2 per ounce. There are 15,000 yards of wood pulp and 4,500 ounces of ink on hand January 1, and the desired ending inventory for these raw materials is 30% of the next month's production needs for raw materials. 1.Prepare production budgets for February and March. 2.Prepare direct materials purchase budgets (in units and dollars) for February and March.

Explanation / Answer

Answer 1

Production Budget (january)

Beginning inventory = 8000 units

Sales = 30000 units

Desired ending inventory = 50000 x 25 % = 12500

Production units = 30000+12500-8000= 34500 units

Production Budget (february)

Beginning inventory = 12500 units

Sales = 50000 units

Desired ending inventory = 70000 x 25 % = 17500

Production units = 50000+17500-12500= 55000 units

Production Budget (March)

Beginning inventory = 17500 units

Sales = 70000 units

Desired ending inventory = 80000 x 25 % = 20000

Production units = 70000+20000-17500= 72500 units

Production Budget (April)

Beginning inventory = 20000 units

Sales = 80000 units

Desired ending inventory = 60000 x 25 % = 15000

Production units = 80000+15000-20000= 75000 units

Answer 2

Direct material purchase budget (january)

wood pulp

production units = 34500, wood pulp required = 34500 x 6 yards = 207000 yards

beginning units inventory = 15000 yards

desired end units = 30 % x (55000 x 6) = 99000 yards

units to be purchased = 207000+99000-15000 = 291000 yards x $ 8= $ 2328000

ink

production units = 34500, ink required = 34500 x3 ounces = 103500 ounces

beginning inventory = 4500 ounces

desired end inventory = 30 % x (55000 x3)= 49500 ounces

units to be purchased = 103500+ 49500 - 4500 = 148500 ounces

Direct material purchase budget (february)

wood pulp

production units = 55000, wood pulp required = 55000 x 6 yards = 330000 yards

beginning units inventory = 99000 yards

desired end units = 30 % x (72500 x 6) = 130500 yards

units to be purchased = 330000+130500-99000 = 361500 yards x $ 8= $ 2892000

ink

production units = 55000, ink required = 55000 x3 ounces = 165000 ounces

beginning inventory = 49500 ounces

desired end inventory = 30 % x (72500 x3)= 65250 ounces

units to be purchased = 165000+65250-49500 = 180750 ounces x $2 = $ 361500

Direct material purchase budget (March)

wood pulp

production units = 72500, wood pulp required = 72500 x 6 yards = 435000 yards

beginning units inventory = 130500 yards

desired end units = 30 % x (75000 x 6) = 135000 yards

units to be purchased = 435000+135000-130500 = 439500 yards x $ 8= $ 3516000

ink

production units = 72500, ink required = 72500 x3 ounces = 217500 ounces

beginning inventory = 66250 ounces

desired end inventory = 30 % x (75000 x3)= 67500 ounces

units to be purchased = 217500+67500-66250= 218750 ounces x $2 = $ 437500
