Two pounds of raw materials are required to produce one unit of product. The company wants raw materials on hand at the end of each month equal to 20% of the following month's production needs. The company is expected to have 28,240 pounds of raw materials on hand on January 1. Budgeted production for February should be:
Answer = 79625
Explanation:
Raw material consumed = op. Raw material + raw material purchased - cl. Raw material
In january=
Raw material consumed = 70600×2 = 141200
141200 = 28240 + 144810 - closing raw material
Therefore closing raw material = 31850
Units that can be produced from cl. Raw material = 31850/2 = 15925 units which should be 20% of the next month production
The company wants raw materials on hand at the end of each month equal to 20% of the following month's production needs
Therefore total production for february will be 15925/20% = 79625 units
