Compute Preston's direct materials purchases budget for July and Augus

Respuesta :

Answer:

Direct material purchase budget for July and August= $10634

Explanation:

The material purchases budget is determined by adding the the closing stock of materials to the material usage budget and subtracting the opening inventory of materials.

Material purchase budget= Material usage budget + closing inventory - opening inventory

Material budget=

                                               Unit

July  =           300×12       = 3600

August  =       360  ×   12 = 4320                

                                             7920

Closing inventory                 260

                                              8180

cost per unit                            × $1.30

                                          $10634

Direct material purchase budget for July and August= $10634
