Question

Exercise 7-3 Direct Materials Budget [LO7-4]

Two grams of musk oil are required for each bottle of Mink Caress, a very popular perfume made by a small company in western Siberia. The cost of the musk oil is $2.20 per gram. Budgeted production of Mink Caress is given below by quarters for Year 2 and for the first quarter of Year 3:

    

	Year 2					Year 3
	First	Second	Third	Fourth		First
Budgeted production, in bottles	86,000	116,000	176,000	126,000		96,000

    

    Musk oil has become so popular as a perfume ingredient that it has become necessary to carry large inventories as a precaution against stock-outs. For this reason, the inventory of musk oil at the end of a quarter must be equal to 20% of the following quarter’s production needs. Some 34,400 grams of musk oil will be on hand to start the first quarter of Year 2.

  

Required:

Prepare a direct materials budget for musk oil, by quarter and in total, for Year 2. (Round "Unit cost of raw materials" answers to 2 decimal places.)
