Direct Materials Purchases Budget Soda Company is the largest bottler in Western Europe. The company purchases Brand 1 and Brand 2 concentrate from The Soda Company, dilutes and mixes the concentrate with carbonated water, and then fills the blended beverage into cans or plastic two-liter bottles. Assume that the estimated production for Brand 1 and Brand 2 two-liter bottles at the Wakefield, UK, bottling plant are as follows for the month of May: Brand 1 61,000 two-liter bottles Brand 2 46,000 two-liter bottles In addition, assume that the concentrate costs $78 per pound for both Brand 1 and Brand 2 and is used at a rate of 0.2 pound per 100 liters of carbonated water in blending Brand 1 and 0.25 pound per 100 liters of carbonated water in blending Brand 2. Assume that two liters of carbonated water are used for each two-liter bottle of finished product. Assume further that two-liter bottles cost $0.073 per bottle and carbonated water costs $0.053 per liter. Prepare a direct materials purchases budget for May, assuming inventories are ignored, because there are no changes between beginning and ending inventories for concentrate, bottles, and carbonated water.
