    Month Units Month Units

    Material Purchase Requirement

    Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr
    Production Requirement 10,000 8,000 5,000 4,000



    3 pounds of raw 30,000 24,000 15,000 12,000
    Material needed
    Per unit
    "Ending raw material bal
    (30% of next month's req)" 7,200 4,500 3,600
    Raw Material Required 37,200 28,500 18,600

    "Less:
    Opening raw material bal" 9,000 7,200 4,500
    "Raw material purchase
    in pounds" 28,200 21,300 14,100

    "Raw material purchases in
    $ (2$ per pound)" $56,400 $42,600 $28,200


    Note:

    The finished goods will be multiplied by the no. of pounds per unit of raw material to obtain
    Raw material required.
    The raw material to be purchased will be arrived at after subtracting opening inventory of raw
    Material in hand, and also keeping the required 30% ending inventory balance.
    This raw material purchase is then multiplied by rate per pound to achieve our result, the raw material purchases in USD.

    Hope it helps.
