has the following inventory requirements:
a. The finished goods inventory on hand at the end of each month must be equal to 3,000 units of
Supermix plus 20% of the next month’s sales. The finished goods inventory on June 30 is budgeted to
be 10,000 units.
b. The raw materials inventory on hand at the end of each month must be equal to one-half of the
following month’s production needs for raw materials. The raw materials inventory on June 30 is
budgeted to be 54,000 cc of solvent H300.
c. The company maintains no work in process inventories.
