Question

Direct Materials Purchases Budget

FlashKick Company manufactures and sells soccer balls for teams of children in elementary and high school. FlashKick’s best-selling lines are the practice ball line (durable soccer balls for training and practice) and the match ball line (high-performance soccer balls used in games). In the first four months of next year, FlashKick expects to sell the following:

	Practice Balls				Match Balls
	Units		Selling Price		Units		Selling Price
January	46,000		$8.95		6,200		$16.30
February	57,000		$8.95		8,000		$16.30
March	88,000		$8.95		13,500		$16.30
April	110,000		$8.95		16,500		$16.30

FlashKick requires ending inventory of product to equal 20 percent of the next month’s unit sales. Beginning inventory in January was 9,200 practice soccer balls and 1,240 match soccer balls.

Every practice ball requires 0.5 square yard of polyvinyl chloride panels, one bladder with valve (to fill with air), and 3 ounces of glue. FlashKick’s policy is that 20 percent of the following month’s production needs for raw materials be in ending inventory. Beginning inventory in January for all raw materials met this requirement.
