Budgeting Production and Purchases and Just-In-Time Materials Inventory Central Manufacturing, Inc. is preparing budgets for the second quarter of 2016. Central produces only one product in its factory. This product requires 4 pounds of material C, 3 pounds of material H, and a component, M, that is purchased from another manufacturer. Central operates on a just-in-time basis for material C. As a result, Central maintains no inventory of material C. On April 1, 2016, the inventory of material H is expected to be 7,000 pounds and the inventory of component M is expected to be 3,000 units. Central wants the inventories of H and M at June 30, 2016, to be 20% less than the inventories at April 1, 2016. The inventory of finished products at March 31, 2016, is expected to be 6,000 units; the desired inventory at June 30, 2016, is 8,000 units to allow a buildup for heavy sales in the third quarter. The sales forecast for the second quarter is 18,000 units at $200 each. Budgeted purchase costs are $5 per pound for C, $6 per pound for H, and $50 per component for M.
