Answer:
d. 234,000 lbs. of A; e. 39,000 lbs. of B
Explanation:
For computing the number of pounds first we have to find out the production units which is shown below:
Production units = Sales units + ending inventory units - beginning inventory units
= 76,000 units + 10,500 units - 8,500 units
= 78,000 units
Now number of material pounds required is
Direct material A B
One unit requires 3 lbs 1 ÷ 2 lbs
Multiply 78000 unit requires 234,000 39,000
We simply multiplied the production units with the required unit of each material i.e A and B so that the accurate number of pounds could arrive
