Answer 1

Rhett corporation's  Plan on budgeted purchasing in may is 97,600 yards

Explanation:

Opening inventory of May = Closing inventory of April = 2100 yards

Budgeted production of May = 32,000 units

Closing inventory of May  = 2800 yards

Required inventory for producing 32,000 units

= 32,000 × 3 yards (per unit production of shirt) = 96,000 yards

 Plan on purchasing in may

 = Total yards needed - opening inventory + closing inventory

 = 96,000 - 2100 + 2800 = 97,600 yards

$= 96,000 - 2100 + 2800 = 97,600 yards$
