Giving the following information:

Sales:

January 130,000

February 160,000

March 200,000

April 215,000

May 180,000

June 240,000

Beginning inventory for 2014 is 30,000 units.

The budgeted inventory at the end of a month is 40 percent of units to be sold the following month.

The purchase price per unit is $5.

To calculate the production required for each month, we need to use the following formula:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

January:

Sales= 160,000

Desired ending inventory= (160,000*0.4)= 64,000

Beginning inventory= (30,000)

Total= 164,000

Total cost= 164,000*5= $820,000

February:

Sales= 130,000

Desired ending inventory= (200,000*0.4)= 80,000

Beginning inventory= (64,000)

Total= 146,000

Total cost= 146,000*5= $730,000

March:

Sales= 200,000

Desired ending inventory= (215,000*0.4)= 86,000

Beginning inventory= (80,000)

Total= 206,000

Total cost= 206,000*5= $1,030,000

April:

Sales= 215,000

Desired ending inventory= (180,000*0.4)= 72,000

Beginning inventory= (86,000)

Total= 201,000

Total cost= 201,000*5= $1,005,000

May:

Sales= 180,000

Desired ending inventory= (240,000*0.4)= 96,000

Beginning inventory= (72,000)

Total= 204,000

Total cost= 204,000*5= $1,020,000
