Required:

b.If 500,000 finished units were to be manufactured by Bodin Company during the year, determine the amount of raw material to be purchased.

Answer 1

a) production units = 450,000

b) Amount of raw materials = 1,010,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The production budget is computed as follows;

Production budget = Sales budget + closing inventory - opening inventory

Production budget= 480,000 + 50,000 - 80,000

= 450,000 units

The raw material purchase budget is the amount of material to be purchased to accommodate production need and inventory of materials to be kept.

Purchase budget = usage budget + closing inventory - opening inventoy

Purchase budget = (2× 500,000) + 45,000 - 35,000

= 1,010,000.
