The following are budgeted data: January February March Sales in units 16,600 23,200 19,600 Production in units 19,600 20,600 19,300 One pound of material is required for each finished unit. The inventory of materials at the end of each month should equal 25% of the following month's production needs. Purchases of raw materials for February would be budgeted to be: Multiple Choice 20,925 pounds 20,575 pounds 20,275 pounds 18,325 pounds

20,575 pounds

Explanation:

Production needs in February are 20,600 units.

These take a pound of material to be made finished goods so 20,600 pounds are needed.

Raw material purchase = Total required + Closing inventory - Opening inventory

Closing inventory = 25% * March needs

= 25% * 19,300 = 4,825 pounds

Opening inventory = 25% * Feb needs

= 25% * 20,600 = 5,150 pounds

Raw materials purchase = 20,600 + 4,825 - 5,150

= 20,575 pounds

answer; i believe the correct answer is radioactive decay);

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
