Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

Given that:

The Opening inventory of material A = 30000 pounds

Then

Direct Materials Budget is given as follows:

Quarter 1 Quarter 3 Quarter 2

Units to be produced 60000 80000 90000

Multiply by Quantity of 2 2 2

Direct material needed per unit

Materials needed for Production (pounds):

120000 160000 180000

Plus:

Desired Ending inventory

of direct materials 40000 45000

Total Materials Requirement (pounds)

205000

Less: Beginning inventory for direct materials:

40000

Materials to be purchased (Pounds) 165000

Therefore, the budgeted purchases of material A for the second quarter would be: 165,000 pounds of material A

Answer:

Budgeted purchases for second quarter is 165000 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The per unit requirement of material A is 2 pounds.

We first need to calculate the closing inventory of Material A at the end of first quarter and at the end of second quarter.

End of first quarter

The closing inventory for First quarter should be enough to meet 25% production requirement for next quarter. 25% production requirement for second quarter is 40000 pounds.

Production requirement - Second quarter = 80000 * 2 = 160000

25% of 160000 = 40000 pounds

End of second quarter

The closing inventory for First quarter should be enough to meet 25% production requirement for next quarter. 25% production requirement for second quarter is 45000 pounds.

Production requirement - Second quarter = 90000 * 2 = 180000

25% of 180000 = 45000 pounds

Budgeted Purchase -Second quarter = Closing Inventory in pounds + production in pounds - Opening Inventory in pounds

Purchase requirement - First quarter = 45000 + 160000 - 40000 = 165000 pounds
