Caspion Corporation makes and sells a product called a Miniwarp. One Miniwarp requires 2.5 kilograms of the raw material Jurislo

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Cost of purchase= $1,014,300

Explanation:

Giving the following formula:

Production:

August= 22,600

September= 21,300

Ending inventory= 20% of the following month's production needs.

Beginning inventory= 10,800 kg

The cost of Jurislon is $18.00 per kilogram.

One Miniwarp requires 2.5 kilograms of the raw material Jurislon.

First, we need to calculate the purchases in kg required using the following formula:

Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Purchases= (2.5*22,600) + (2.5*21,300)*0.2 - 10,800

Purchases= 56,350kg

Now, the total cost of purchase:

Cost of purchase= 56,350*18= $1,014,300
