Production in unit 48000 88000 98000 78000

Raw material per unit 3 3 3 3

=================================================================

Thus,

Need for material = Production in unit × Raw material per unit

=================================================================

Quarter FIRST SECOND THIRD FOURTH

Need for material in production 144,000 264,000 294,000 234,000

==================================================================

Total need of material = Need for material in production + Desired ending inventory

==================================================================

Quarter FIRST SECOND THIRD FOURTH

Total need of material = 210,000 337,500 352,500

Beginning inventory 38000 66000 73500

==================================================================

Total purchase = Total need of material - Beginning inventory
