Cornerstone Exercise 8.3 (Algorithmic) Direct Materials Purchases Budget

FlashKick Company manufactures and sells soccer balls for teams of children in elementary and high school. FlashKicks best-selling lines are the practice ball line (durable soccer balls for training and practice) and the match ball line (high-performance soccer balls used in games). In the first four months of next year, FlashKick expects to sell the following:

	Practice Balls		Match Balls
	Units	Selling Price		Units	Selling Price
January	49,000	$8.85		6,500	$17.40
February	60,000	$8.85		7,600	$17.40
March	86,000	$8.85		12,000	$17.40
April	105,000	$8.85		16,000	$17.40

FlashKick requires ending inventory of product to equal 30 percent of the next months unit sales. Beginning inventory in January was 14,700 practice soccer balls and 1,950 match soccer balls.

Every practice ball requires 0.5 square yard of polyvinyl chloride panels, one bladder with valve (to fill with air), and 2 ounces of glue. FlashKicks policy is that 20 percent of the following months production needs for raw materials be in ending inventory. Beginning inventory in January for all raw materials met this requirement.
