    Giving the following information:

    Direct material:

    Each purse requires 3 pounds of direct materials for $4 per pound.

    The company's policy is to end each month with direct materials inventory equal to 40% of the next month's materials requirement.

    At the end of August the company had 3,480 pounds of direct materials in inventory.

    Direct labor:

    0.7 direct labor hours at a rate of $17 per hour.

    Overhead:

    Variable manufacturing overhead is charged at a rate of $3 per direct labor hour.

    Fixed manufacturing overhead is $13,000 per month. T

    Production Budget:

    September = 5,300 units

    October = 6,900 units

    November = 6,300 units

    1) Direct material budget:

    September (in pounds):

    Production = 5,300*3 = 15,900

    Desired ending inventory = (6,900*3) * 0.4 = 8,280

    Beginning inventory = (3,480)

    Total pounds = 20,700

    Total cost = 20,700*4 = $82,800

    October (in pounds):

    Production = 6,900*3 = 20,700

    Desired ending inventory = (6,300*3) * 0.4 = 7,560

    Beginning inventory = (8,280)

    Total pounds = 19,980

    Total cost = 19,980*4 = $79,920

    2) Direct labor:

    September:

    Total direct labor hours = 0.7*5,300 = 3,710

    Total cost = 3,710*17 = $63,070

    October:

    Total direct labor hours = 0.7*6,900 = 4,830

    Total cost = 4,830*17 = $82,110

    3) Manufacturing overhead:

    September:

    Variable overhead = $3*3,710 = $11,130

    Fixed overhead = 13,000

    Total overhead = $24,130

    October:

    Variable overhead = $3*4,830 = $14,490

    Fixed overhead = 13,000

    Total overhead = $27,490
