Company policy calls for a given month$$s ending materials inventory to equal $50\%$ of the next month$$s direct materials requirements. The March $31$ raw materials inventory is $24,625$ pounds. The budgeted June $30$ ending raw materials inventory is $20,000$ pounds. Each finished unit requires $0\mathrm{.}50$ pound of direct materials.

c$.$ Company policy calls for a given month$$s ending finished goods inventory to equal $80\%$ of the next month$$s budgeted unit sales. The March $31$ finished goods inventory is $82,000$ units.

d$.$ Each finished unit requires $0\mathrm{.}50$ hour of direct labor at a rate of $$15$ per hour.

e$.$ The predetermined variable overhead rate is $$2\mathrm{.}70$ per direct labor hour. Depreciation of $$100,000$ per month is the only fixed factory overhead item.
