First you need to calculate the production in units, which is sales minus opening inventory plus closing inventory.
Then you can calculate the materials usage, which is production multiplied by the kgs (for each product, then totalled).
Then you can calculate the materials purchases, which is materials usage minus opening inventory plus closing inventory.
You can also calculate labour, by multiplying production units by labour hours.
Production budget= production in units 450 550
Less opening inventory 20 50
Add closing inventory 30 40

460 540material usuage= 460 * 2 *5 4600 2700 (540*1*5)
Material Purchase= 4600 2700
50
Add closing 60

4610 2700= 7310 my answer/ correct ans 7350
How did they arrive at that answer?????labour bugget: 460*18/60*8 1104 2160 (30/60*540*8)
= 3264
You have added and subtracted the closing and opening inventory in kg, when you have your production in $’s.
The production budget should be in kgs, not $’s. Then you can adjust for the opening and closing inventory in kgs to get the purchases in kgs, and then you can calculate in $’s.
