66,000 units

66,000 units

75,500 units

65,000 units

Answer 1

Direct materials needed for production = 100,000 * 6 = 600,000

Purchase of direct materials = Direct materials needed for production + Ending direct materials - Beginning direct materials

= 600,000 + 100,000 - 150,000

= 550,000

Direct materils purchase budget = 550,000 square yards * 0.5 per square yard  

= 275,000

Sales budget

(Sales budget drives the operating budget and has to be completed first because it helps define the formation of the other budgets)

Budgeted production = Sales in units + Ending inventory - Beginning inventory

= 76,000 + 7,000 - 6,500

= 76,500 units
