    Fourth quarter 20,000     91,800    

    The president of the company believes that the projected sales are realistic and can be achieved by the company. In the factory, the production supervisor has received the projected sales figures and gathered information needed to compile production budgets.

Direct Materials Purchases Budget: Direct Labor Budget

Macchu Company produces stuffed toy animals; one of these is “Andie the Llama.” Each Andie takes 0.20 yard of fabric (white with irregular black splotches) and 8 ounces of polyfiberfill. Fabric costs $3.40 per yard and polyfiberfill is $0.05 per ounce. Macchu has budgeted production of Andies for the next four months as follows:

  Units
October 41,000
November 90,000
December 60,000
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 15 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 Andie produced requires (on average) 0.10 direct labor hour. The average cost of direct labor is $15 per hour.
