Explanation / Answer

Calculations and explanations:

1. Rubber for passenger tires = 40,000*31 = 1,240,000 lbs

2. Rubber for truck tires = 12,000*72 = 864,000 lbs

3. Steel belts for passenger tires = 40,000*3 = 120,000 lbs

4. Steel belts for truck tires = 12,000*8 = 96,000 lbs

5. Total requirement = requirement (as computed above)-beginning inventory

6. Purchase = total requirement+desired ending inventory

Rubber Steel Belts Total Pounds required for production: Passenger tires 1,240,000.00 lbs 120,000.00 lbs Truck tires 864,000.00 96,000.00 less: beginning inventory 44,000.00 6,000.00 Total 2,060,000.00 lbs 210,000.00 lbs Add: ending inventory 38,000.00 8,000.00 Total units purchased 2,098,000.00 lbs 218,000.00 lbs Unit price 3.10 $ 4.10 $ Total direct materials to be purchased 6,503,800.00 $ 893,800.00 $ 7,397,600.00
