Masterson Company's budgeted production calls for 66,000 units in April and 62,000 units in May of a key raw material that costs $1.60 per unit. Each month's ending raw materials inventory should equal 30% of the following month's budgeted materials. The April 1 inventory for this material is 19,800 unit. What is the budgeted materials needed in units for April?

Answer 1

The budgeted materials needed in units for April is 64,800 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the budgeted materials needed in units for April we would have to use the following formula:

Budgeted Materials =Materials needed +ending inventory −beginning inventory available

To calculate the ending inventory we would have to use the following formula:

Ending inventory=0.3×Following month budgeted materials

Ending inventory=0.3×62,000

Ending inventory=18,600

Therefore, Budgeted Materials =66,000+18,600−19,800

Budgeted Materials= 64,800 units

The budgeted materials needed in units for April is 64,800 units
