The following are budgeted data: January February March Sales in units 16,000 22,000 19,000 Production in units 19,000 20,000 18,500 One pound of material is required for each finished unit. The inventory of materials at the end of each month should equal 25% of the following month's production needs. Purchases of raw materials for February would be budgeted to be: Multiple Choice 20,375 pounds 18,375 pounds 19,625 pounds 20,125 pounds

Purchases= 19,625 pounds

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production in units:

February= 20,000

March= 18,500

The inventory of materials at the end of each month should equal 25% of the following month's production needs.

To calculate the purchases of raw materials, we need to use the following formula:

Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Purchases= 20,000 + (18,500*0.25) - (20,000*0.25)

Purchases= 19,625 pounds

the correct answer option is b. a single paragraph.

explanation:

when you are thinking about paragraph​ topics, you should always choose a subject that can be adequately addressed in a single paragraph.

a paragraph is a piece of writing consisting of a few sentences that deal with a single theme. it has only a single idea that the paragraph revolves around and talks about.

so a paragraph topic must be chosen wisely where a single idea can be communicated in a single paragraph.
