Kyoto, Inc. predicts the following sales in units for the coming four months:

sales in units April 240 May 280 June 300 July 240

Although each month's ending inventory of finished units should be 60% of the next month's sales, the March 31 finished goods inventory is only 100 units. A finished unit requires five pounds of raw material B. The March 31 raw materials inventory has 200 pounds of B. Each month's ending inventory of raw materials should be 30% of the following month's production needs.

Kyoto's budgeted production for the second quarter is:


If each unit of Kyoto's product takes two hours to produce and the labor rate is expected to be $10 per hour, what is the budgeted labor cost for May?


If each unit of Kyoto's product takes two hours to produce and the labor rate is expected to be $10 per hour, what is the budgeted labor cost for the second quarter?


Explanation / Answer

HI,


Hi,


Please find the answer as follows:


Direct Labor Cost for May = 292*2*10 = 5840


Direct Labor Cost for the Quarter = 864*2*10 = 17280


Budgeted Production for April = 240 + .60*280 - 100 = 308

Budgeted Production for May = 280 + 300*.6 - 280*.6 = 292

Budgeted Production for June = 300 + 240*.6 - 300*.6 = 264


Total Budgeted Production = 308 + 292 + 264 = 864


Thanks.
