Explanation / Answer

1.ending inventory of december = 45000×6×.20= 54000gallons of chemicals, January= 55000×6×.20= 66000 gallons of chemicals, February = 60000×6×.20= 72000 gallons of chemicals. Beginning inventory of January= 54000 i.e.ending inventory of december month. 2. For the month of January 45000×6gallons of chemicals =270000+66000-54000=282000*$2= $564000. For the month of February 55000×6= 330000gallons of chemicals+ 72000-66000=336000×$2=$672000. 3. Ending inventory for December=45000×1×.2=9000drums,january = 55000×1×.20=11000drums , February= 60000×1×.20=12000drums. 4. purchase budget for January= 45000×1=45000+11000=56000-9000=47000×$1.60=$75200. Purchase budget for February= 55000×1=55000+12000=67000-11000=56000×$1.60= $89600.
