    The correct answer for 1. is $3,000 and for 2. $3,240.

    Explanation:

    1).

    Total cost of raw material for may production = Raw material unit * Required pound * Raw material price per pound

    = 500 * 2 pounds * $3 per pound

    = $3,000

    2).

    Particular April May June

    Units of Raw Material 500 700

    Required Pound 2 2

    Need of Raw Material (Units * pounds) 1,000 1,400

    Add. Ending Inventory Desired 200 280

    Total of Required Raw Material (1,000+280) 1,280

    Less - April ending Raw Material 200

    Purchase Raw Material (1,280 - 200) 1,080

    Per Pound Price of Raw Material $3

    Total cost of Purchased Raw Material (1080 * 3) $3,240

    Note : Ending inventory for April = 1,000 * 20 % = 200

    Ending inventory for May = 1,400 * 20% = 280
