Fill in the Blank QuestionFill in the blank question.A manufacturing company has budgeted production of 5,000 units for May and 4,400 units in June. Each unit requires 3 pounds of materials at a cost of .
Solution
To solve this problem, we first need to calculate the material requirements for May and June.
- Material requirements for May = 5,000 units * 3 pounds/unit = 15,000 pounds
- Material requirements for June = 4,400 units * 3 pounds/unit = 13,200 pounds
The company wants to have an ending inventory of 60% of the next month's material requirements. So, the ending inventory for May should be 60% of June's material requirements.
- Ending inventory for May = 60% of 13,200 pounds = 0.60 * 13,200 = 7,920 pounds
Now, we can calculate the total material requirements for May. This is the sum of the material requirements for production in May and the desired ending inventory, minus the beginning inventory.
- Total material requirements for May = (Material requirements for May) + (Ending inventory for May) - (Beginning inventory) = 15,000 pounds + 7,920 pounds - 2,750 pounds = 20,170 pounds
Finally, we can calculate the total cost of direct materials purchases for May by multiplying the total material requirements by the cost per pound.
- Total cost of direct materials purchases for May = Total material requirements for May * Cost per pound = 20,170 pounds * 201,700
So, the total cost of direct materials purchases for May will be $201,700.
