    Instructions are below.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Production (units):

    April = 642

    May = 670

    June = 676

    July = 656

    Each finished unit requires four pounds of raw materials.

    Desired ending inventory = 40% of next month's production needs.

    Beginning raw materials = 1,027 pounds.

    Direct materials = $4 per pound.

    We need to use the following formula to calculate the purchases:

    Purchases = production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

    April (In pounds):

    Production = 642*4 = 2,568

    Ending inventory = (670*4) * 0.4 = 1,072

    Beginning inventory = (1,027)

    Total = 2,613

    Total cost = 2,613*4 = $10,452

    May (In pounds):

    Production = 670*4 = 2,680

    Ending inventory = (676*4) * 0.4 = 1,082

    Beginning inventory = (1,072)

    Total = 2,690

    Total cost = 2,690*4 = $10,760

    June (In pounds):

    Production = 676*4 = 2,704

    Ending inventory = (656*4) * 0.4 = 1,050

    Beginning inventory = (1,082)

    Total = 2,672

    Total cost = 2,672*4 = $10,688
