    Instructions are below.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Production Budget

    March = 3,400

    April = 5,400

    May = 5,200

    A) Direct materials:

    Each sculpture requires 9 pounds of direct materials at a cost of $3 per pound.

    Desired ending inventory = 30% of the next month's materials requirement.

    Beginning inventory = 5,080 pounds

    Purchases = production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

    March (pounds)

    Production = 3,400*9 = 30,600

    Ending inventory = (5,400*9) * 0.3 = 14,580

    Beginning inventory = (5,080)

    Total pounds = 40,100

    Total cost = 40,100*3 = $120,300

    April (pounds)

    Production = 5,400*9 = 48,600

    Ending inventory = (5,200*9) * 0.3 = 14,040

    Beginning inventory = (14,580)

    Total pounds=

    Total cost = 48,060*3 = $144,180

    B) Direct labor:

    0.4 direct labor hours at a rate of $16 per hour.

    March:

    Direct labor hours = 3,400*0.4 = 1,360

    Direct labor costs = 1,360*16 = $21,760

    April:

    Direct labor hours = 5,400*0.4 = 2,160

    Direct labor costs = 2,160*16 = $34,560

    C) Manufacturing overhead:

    Variable manufacturing overhead is charged at a rate of $2 per direct labor hour. Fixed manufacturing overhead is $4, 200 per month.

    March:

    Variable overhead = 2*1,360 = $2,720

    Fixed overhead = 4,200

    Total overhead = $6,920

    April:

    Variable overhead = 2*2,160 = $4,320

    Fixed overhead = 4,200

    Total overhead = $8,520
