ABC Company’s budgeted sales for June, July, and August are 12,400, 16,400, and 14,400 units, respectively. ABC requires 30% of the next month’s budgeted unit sales as finished goods inventory each month. Budgeted ending finished goods inventory for May is 3,720 units. Each unit that ABC Company produces uses 3 pounds of raw material. ABC requires 25% of the next month’s budgeted production as raw material inventory each month. Required: Calculate the number of pounds of raw material to be purchased in June.
Ans:
Production=sales+ending finished inventory-beginning finished inventory
Raw material consumption=Production*raw material requirement per unit
Raw material purchases =Raw material consumption+ending inventory-Beginning inventory
Based on above
June Production
12,400 + (16,400 x 30%) – 3,720 = 13,600 units
July Production
16,400 + (14,400 x 30%) - (16,400 x 30%) = 15,800 units
June Raw Materials Purchased
(13,600 x 3pounds) + (15,800 x 3pounds x 25%) - (13,600 x 3 x 25%)
= 40,800 + 11,850 – 10,200
= 42,450 pounds to be purchased
