The budgeted materials needed in units for April is 64,800 units

Explanation:

In order to calculate the budgeted materials needed in units for April we would have to use the following formula:

Budgeted Materials = Materials needed + ending inventory - beginning inventory available

To calculate the ending inventory we would have to use the following formula:

Ending inventory=0.3*Following month budgeted materials

Ending inventory=0.3*62,000

Ending inventory=18,600

Therefore, Budgeted Materials = 66,000+18,600-19,800

Budgeted Materials = 64,800 units

The budgeted materials needed in units for April is 64,800 units
