GreenThumb Organic Fertilizer Company plans to sell $260,000$ units of finished product in July and anticipates a growth rate in sales

of $5$ percent per month. The desired monthly ending inventory in units of finished product is $85$ percent of the next month's estimated

sales. There are $221,000$ finished units in inventory on June $30.$ Each unit of finished product requires $4$ pounds of raw material at a

cost of $$1\mathrm{.}45$ per pound. There are $730,000$ pounds of raw material in inventory on June $30.$

Required:

Compute the company's total required production in units of finished product for the entire three$-$month period ending September

Note: Round all intermediate calculations and your final answer to the nearest unit.

Independent of your answer to requirement $1,$ assume the company plans to produce $620,000$ units of finished product in the

three$-$month period ending September $30,$ and to have raw$-$material inventory on hand at the end of the three$-$month period equal

to $25$ percent of the use in that period. Compute the total estimated cost of raw$-$material purchases for the entire three$-$month

period ending September $30.$
