Micro Products Inc. has developed a very powerful electronic calculator. Each calculator requires three small chips that cost $3 each and are purchased from an overseas supplier. Micro Products has prepared a production budget for the calculator by quarters for year 2 and for the first quarter of year 3, as shown below: Year 3 First 78,000 108,000168,000 118,000 98,000 Year 2 First Second Third Fourth Budgeted production, in calculators The chip used in production of the calculator is sometimes hard to get, so it is necessary to carry large inventories as a precaution against stock-outs. For this reason, the inventory of chips at the end of a quarter must be equal to 20% of the following quarter's production needs. A total of 54,000 chips will be on hand to start the first quarter of year 2. Required: Prepare a direct materials purchases budget for chips, by quarter and in total, for year 2.
