Answer:
c.530,000 grams
Explanation:
Calculation for How much of the raw material should the company purchase during the year
First step is to prepare the Production Budget
PRODUCTION BUDGET
Budgeted unit sales 170,000
Add desired ending finished goods inventory
32,000
Total 202,000
(170,000+32,000)
Less beginning finished goods inventory (22,000)
Required production in units 180,000
(202,000-22,000)
Second step is to prepare Materials Budget
MATERIALS BUDGET
Raw materials required for production 540,000
(180,000*3 grams)
Add desired ending finished goods inventory
42,000
Total raw materials needed 582,000
(540,000+42,000)
Less beginning finished goods inventory (52,000)
Required material purchases 530,000 grams
(582,000-52,000)
Therefore the amount of the raw material that the company should purchase during the year is $530,000 grams
