Kelley · Answer 1

137,000

Explanation:

Jan Feb March

Units produced 94000 80000

Raw materials 26,000

Raw materials 213800 239800 295800

Ratio of raw material to a product is 2:1

Ending inventory = 30% of next month production

Represent budgeted production in February by F

239800=2F + (80000*2*30%) - (2F*30%)

239800 = 2F + 48000 = 0.6F

239800-48000=2F-0.6F

191800=1.4F

F = 191800/1.4 = 137000
