Dirty Hands, Inc. sells soap. The sales budget is 800,000 units. Management estimates that there will be 100,000 units in beginning inventory and 125,000 units in ending inventory.
Based on the production budget in problem above what would be the budgeted cost of direct material if it takes 7 oz of material to make a bar of soap and each oz costs $0.15.
Budgeted sales = 800000 units
Opening Inventory = 100000 units
Ending inventory = 125000 units
The formula for ending inventory is Opening Inventory + Units produced - Sales units = Ending Inventory
i.e 100000 + Units produced - 800000 = 125000 units
Therefore units to be produced is 125000+800000-100000 = 825000 units
So Budgeted Production units is 825000 units
Now one unit require 7 oz of material.
So total Oz requires to manufacture 825000 units is 825000 * 7 oz/unit = 5775000 oz
Cost of each Oz is $0.15
Therefore budgeted cost of direct material will be Budgeted oz required * cost per oz
It will be 5775000* $0.15 = $866250
So 825000 units should be produced.
Budgeted cost of direct material is $866250
