Question

Three grams of musk oil are required for each bottle of Mink Caress, a very popular perfume made by a small company in western Siberia. The cost of the musk oil is $2.20 per gram. Budgeted production of Mink Caress is given below by quarters for Year 2 and for the first quarter of Year 3:

	Year 2					Year 3
	First	Second	Third	Fourth		First
Budgeted production, in bottles	72,000	102,000	162,000	112,000		82,000

Musk oil has become so popular as a perfume ingredient that it has become necessary to carry large inventories as a precaution against stock-outs. For this reason, the inventory of musk oil at the end of a quarter must be equal to 20% of the following quarter’s production needs. Some 43,200 grams of musk oil will be on hand to start the first quarter of Year 2.

Required:

Prepare a direct materials budget for musk oil, by quarter and in total, for Year 2.

I've answered most of the questions but I can not see where you figured out the 49200 for desired units end raw materials in the problem.

Answer 1

Direct materiel purchased budget is prepared to calculate the material purchased during the specific period of time. The budget is prepped annually, semi- annually, quarterly or monthly. The material purchased during the year is calculated by adding ending inventory to production of material and deducting the begriming inventory for the period.
