g The following facts are known: • The total pounds needed for production are 2 times the units to be produced. • The desired ending direct materials inventory is 20% of the total pounds needed for production. • The beginning direct materials inventory is equal in number to 10% of the units to be produced. • Cost per pound is $5. • Total cost of the direct materials purchases is $1,035,000. Prepare a direct materials budget for the period.

Answer and Explanation:

The Preparation of direct material budget is shown below:-

                      Direct Material budget  

Particulars                            Amount              

Units to be produced          $90,000   Y

Material per unit                      2  

Total pounds needed for

production M                    $180,0002Y

Add: Desired ending Direct

Material Inventory 20%    $36,000 (.2 × 2Y = .4Y)

Total Material requirement $216,000 (2.4Y )

Less: beginning Raw material

Inventory                             $9,000  (.1Y)

Material to be purchased

Account                             $207,000 (2.3Y)

Cost per pound C               $5

Total cost of direct Material

Purchases A                        $1,035,000  

2Y + .4Y - .1Y = $207,000

Y = $207,000 ÷ 2.3               $90,000

Jean Piaget was a Swiss philosopher and psychologist who introduced a theory of cognitive development like Sigmund Freud Jean thought human development can be described in stages (of course leaving the sexuality part of Freud out). The stages are:
Sensorimotor. Birth through ages 18-24 months (Explorer)

Preoperational. Toddler-hood (18-24 months) through early youth (age 7) 
( children learn to think abstractly, understand symbolic concepts, and use language etc.)

Concrete operational. Ages 7 to 12 (Understanding complexities)

Formal operations: Pre-adulthood through adulthood (Hypothetical, and theoretical reasoning)
