Haft construction company determines that 54,000 pounds of direct materials are needed for production in july. there are 3,200 pounds of direct materials on hand at july 1 and the desired ending inventory is 2,800 pounds. if the cost per unit of direct materials is $3, what is the budgeted total cost of direct materials purchases?

cost of direct materials purchases   160,800

Explanation:

pounds required for production      54,000

desired ending inventory                    2,800

total needs                                         56,800

beginning inventory                           (3,200)

units to be purchased                        53,600

cost per unit of direct materials                  3

cost of direct materials purchases   160,800

Notes:

The pounds for production and the ending inventory are the raw materials demand.

The beginning inventory is a portion we already have, so we need to purchase less.

Then, we multiply the pounds to be purchased by their cost to get the total cost for direct materials

years agooo ahaha. but honestly they need to update ! : )

the definition of a small business is an independently owned and operated company that is limited in size and in revenue depending on the industry. a local bakery that employs 10 people is an example of a small business. a manufacturing facility that employees less than 500 people is an example of a small business.
