Answer 1

Answer:

Raw material purchase budget for June 64,650 pounds

Explanation:

Production budget for June = Sales budget + closing inventory- + Opening inventory

Closing inventory of products for June

-30%× July budgeted sales= 30% ×19,600

                                  =5,880

July production production budget

t= 19600 + (30%× 17,600)- 5,880

 =19600 + 5280 - 5880 =19,000 units

July usage budget for raw material

Usage budget = production budget × standard material per unit

= 19,000× 3 pounds =57,000 pounds

Production budget for June = 15600 + 5,880 -4,680

                                            = 16,800 units

Material usage budget = 16,800×3 pounds = 50400 pounds

Material purchase = Usage budget  + closing inventory of material - opening inventory

                              = 50,400 + (25%× 57000) - 0 =

                              =50,400 + 14250 =64,650 pounds
