Direct Materials Purchases Budget: Direct Labor Budget Crescent Company produces stuffed toy animals; one of these is “Arabeau the Cow.” Each Arabeau takes 0.20 yard of fabric (white with irregular black splotches) and eight ounces of polyfiberfill. Fabric costs $3.50 per yard and polyfiberfill is $0.05 per ounce. Crescent has budgeted production of Arabeaus for the next four months as follows: Units October 42,000 November 90,000 December 50,000 January 40,000 Inventory policy requires that sufficient fabric be in ending monthly inventory to satisfy 20 percent of the following month’s production needs and sufficient polyfiberfill be in inventory to satisfy 40 percent of the following month’s production needs. Inventory of fabric and polyfiberfill at the beginning of October equals exactly the amount needed to satisfy the inventory policy. Each Arabeau produced requires (on average) 0.10 direct labor hour. The average cost of direct labor is $15 per hour. Required: 1.
