Production Budget and Direct Materials Purchases Budgets

Pets Plus, Inc. produces otic fluid for dogs. The otic fluid is sold in 12-ounce plastic bottles. The sales budget for the first four months of the year is as follows:

Month	Unit Sales
January	60,000
February	85,000
March	50,000
April	58,000

Company policy requires that ending inventories for each month be 25% of next month's sales. At the beginning of January, the inventory of otic fluid is 31,000 bottles. Each bottle of otic fluid needs two raw materials: eight ounces of a mix of salicylic acid and water and one plastic bottle. Company policy requires that ending inventories of raw materials for each month be 20% of the next month's production needs. That policy was met on January 1.
