Answer 1

Answer:

Production Materials Required  (5×26,000 units)     130,000

Add Budgeted Closing Materials (50,000×20%×5)   50,000

Total Materials                                                             180,000

Less Budgeted Opening Inventory (4,000×5)          (20,000)

Budgeted Materials                                                     160,000

Material Cost per pound                                                $0.60

Total Material Cost                                                      $96,000
