Ardel Co. budgeted to sell 222,000 units of Zbox in September. Production of one unit of Zbox requires three pounds of aluminum and five pounds of steel powder. The beginning inventory and the desired ending inventory are as follows:
Beginning Inventory | Desired Ending Inventory | ||||
Zbox | 35,000 | units | 24,000 | units | |
Aluminum | 41,000 | pounds | 34,000 | pounds | |
Steel powder | 37,000 | pounds | 42,000 | pounds | |
How many pounds of steel powder does Ardel Co. need to purchase during September if Ardel plans to manufacture 161,000 units of Zbox in September?
Multiple Choice
769,000 pounds.
800,000 pounds.
805,000 pounds.
810,000 pounds.
841,000 pounds.
(1) Budgeted purchases for the quarter should be:
cost of goods sold = Sales - Gross Profit
= $310000 - ($310000 * 20%) = $248000
Ending Inventory + cost of goods sold - Beginning Inventory
$50000 + $248000 - $110000 = $188000
(2) How many pounds of steel powder does Ardel Co. need to purchase during September if Ardel plans to manufacture 161,000 units of Zbox in September?
Ending Inventory of steel power + Units required for production - Beginning Inventory
Units required for production = 161000 units * 5 pound = 805000 pound
42000 pound + 805000 pound - 37000 pound = 810000 pound
