Production plans for the first four months of operations are as follows: January 20,000 units February 46,000 units March 84,000 units April 84,000 units Each unit requires 3 kilograms of material. The firm would like to end each month with enough raw material inventory on hand to cover 25% of the following month’s production needs. The material costs $6 per kilogram. Management anticipates being able to pay for 40% of the purchases in the month of purchase. The firm will receive a 10% discount for these early payments. Management anticipates having to defer payment to the next month on 60% of the firm’s purchases. No discount will be taken on these late payments. The business starts with no inventories on January 1.
