Answer:
Total cost - Purchases = $3,481,200
Explanation:
We first need to find out the requirement for fabric to produce 20100 ragdolls and adjust it for the already available inventory of fabric (beginning inventory) and the desired ending inventory.
The production of 20100 ragdolls will require fabric of,
Fabric required = 20100 * 15 => 301500 square feet
The purchase of fabric in square feet will be,
Production = Beginning Inventory + Purchases - Ending Inventory
301500 = 23900 + Purchases - 12500
301500 + 12500 - 23900 = Purchases
Purchases = 290100 square feet
The total cost of fabric purchases will be,
Total cost - Purchases = 290100 * 12
Total cost - Purchases = $3,481,200
