Alliance Company's budgets production of 39,000 units in January and 43,000 units in the February. Each finished unit requires 4 pounds of raw material K that costs $3.50 per pound. Each month's ending raw materials inventory should equal 30% of the following month's budgeted materials. The January 1 inventory for this material is 46,800 pounds. What is the budgeted materials need in pounds for January?

The correct answer is 160,800 pounds.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

Budget production in Jan = 39,000 units

Raw material per unit = 4 pounds

So, total raw material needed = 39,000 × 4 pounds = 156,000 pounds

Beginning inventory = 46,800 pounds

Ending inventory = (43,000 × 4 pounds ) × 30% = 51,600 pounds

So, Budgeted material needed = Total raw material + Ending inventory - Beginning inventory

= 156,000 + 51,600 - 46,800

= 160,800 pounds
