Explanation:
A firm has the following forecast information for sales of Product X:
April 15,000 units
May 17,000 units
June 19,000 units
July 18,000 units Product X sells for $3 per unit.
Half of the firm's sales are for cash and the other half is on account.
Credit sales are collected in the following pattern: 60% in the month of sale, 30% in the month following sale, and 5% in the second month following sale (the remainder are uncollectible).
If the firm targets its ending inventories to be 25% of the following month's sales, what are the budgeted purchases (in units) for June
.
Purchases Budget = Required production for sales - opening inventory of raw materials + closing inventory of raw materials = Raw materials required
June's Production Budget
Required production for sales = .............................................19,000 units
less: Beginning inventory (25% of June's sales) =............... 4,750 units
Add: Required Ending Inventory (25% of July's sales) = ...<u>4,500 units</u>
Raw materials required for purchase in June =.................. <u>18,750 units</u>
