Answer :
The raw materials inventory balance at the end of July to be $-91,350. The company will need to order additional raw materials in July to meet production needs in August and maintain a positive raw materials inventory balance.
Assuming that the production process requires a certain amount of raw materials per unit produced, we can estimate the number of units that will be produced in August based on the amount of raw materials needed.If we divide the total raw materials needed for August (101,500 pounds) by the number of pounds of raw materials needed per unit produced, we can estimate the number of units that will be produced in August.Let's say that the number of units produced in August is estimated to be 20,300. We can then use the variable selling and administrative expense per unit sold ($1.90) to estimate the total variable selling and administrative expenses for August, which would be $38,570 (20,300 units x $1.90 per unit).
We also know that the fixed selling and administrative expense per month is $68,000. If we add this to the variable selling and administrative expenses for August, we can estimate the total selling and administrative expenses for August to be $106,570 ($68,000 fixed expense + $38,570 variable expense).Now, let's assume that the company wants to have a raw materials inventory balance at the end of July that is equal to 10% of the raw materials needed for August. To calculate this, we can multiply the total raw materials needed for August by 10% (0.10) to get the desired raw materials inventory balance at the end of July.
This would be $10,150 (101,500 x 0.10). If we subtract the estimated raw materials needed for August (101,500 pounds) from the desired raw materials inventory balance at the end of July ($10,150), we can estimateHowever, a negative raw materials inventory balance is not possible.
