    a. Estimate purchases (in units) for June and July.

    June = 11,400 parts July = 11,100 parts

    b. Estimate the cash required to make purchases in June and July.

    June = $192,600 July = $168,300

    Explanation:

    Beginning stock June 1 = 12,000 parts

    June's expected sales = 12,900 parts

    July's expected sales = 10,500 parts

    August's expected sales = 11,100 parts

    purchase price $15 per part

    60% paid in current month and 40% paid in the next month

    15,000 parts were purchased in May at $225,000 ($90,000 to be paid in June)

    estimated purchases June = estimated sales June + estimated sales July - beginning inventory = 12,900 + 10,500 - 12,000 = 11,400

    estimated purchases July = estimated sales July + estimated sales August - beginning inventory = 10,500 + 11,100 - 10,500 = 11,100

    cash payments June = (May's purchases x 40%) + (June's purchases x 60%) = (15,000 x $15 x 40%) + (11,400 x $15 x 60%) = $90,000 + $102,600 = $192,600

    cash payments July = (June's purchases x 40%) + (July's purchases x 60%) = (11,400 x $15 x 40%) + (11,100 x $15 x 60%) = $68,400 + $99,900 = $168,300
