The Miller Company manufactures and sells industrial components. The Christo plant is responsible for producing two components, AD-5 and FX-3. Plastic, brass, and aluminum are used in the production of these two products.

The Miller Company has adopted a 13-period reporting cycle in all of its plants for budgeting purposes. Each period is four weeks long and has 20 working days. Experience has shown that adequate inventory levels for AD-5 and FX-3 can be maintained if 40% of the next periods projected sales are on hand at the end of a reporting period. Based on this experience and the projected sales, the Christo plant has budgeted production of 8,000 units of AD-5 and 6,000 units of FX-3 in the eighth period. Production is assumed to be uniform for both products within each four-week period.

The raw material specifications for AD-5 and FX-3 are as follows:

	AD-5 (kilograms)			FX-3 (kilograms)
Plastic		2.0			1.0
Brass		0.5
Aluminum					1.5

Data relating to the purchase of raw materials are as follows:

										Projected Inventory Status at the End of the Seventh Period (kilograms)
	Purchase Price per Kilogram			Standard Purchase Lot (kilograms)			Reorder Point (kilograms)			On Hand			On Order			Lead Time in Working Days
Plastic	$	0.40			15,000			12,000			16,000			15,000			10
Brass		0.95			5,000			7,500			9,000						30
Aluminum		0.55			10,500			10,000			14,000			10,000			20

The sales of AD-5 and FX-3 vary somewhat from month to month. However, the safety stock incorporated into the reorder point for each of the raw materials is adequate to compensate for variations in the sales of the finished products.

Raw material orders are placed the day the quantity on hand falls below the reorder point. Christo plants suppliers are very dependable, so the given lead times are reliable. The outstanding orders for aluminum and plastic are due to arrive on the fourth and tenth working days of the eighth period, respectively. Payments for all raw material orders are remitted in the month of delivery.

Required: The Christo plant is required to submit a report to Miller Company corporate headquarters, summarizing the projected raw materials activities, before each period commences. The data for the eighth-period report are being assembled. Determine the following items for plastic, brass, and aluminum for inclusion in the eighth-period report:

1. Projected quantities (in kilograms) of each raw material to be issued to the Production Department.

	Plastic		Brass		Aluminum
Projected raw material issues		kg		kg		kg

2.&3. Projected quantities (in kilograms) of each raw material ordered and the date (in terms of working days) the order is to be placed. The projected inventory balance (in kilograms) of each raw material at the end of the period.

	Plastic		Brass		Aluminum
Average daily usage		kg		kg		kg
Beginning inventory		kg		kg		kg
Orders received:
Ordered in 7th period		kg		kg		kg
Ordered in 8th period		kg		kg		kg
Subtotal		kg		kg		kg
Issues		kg		kg		kg
Projected ending inventory balance		kg		kg		kg

4. The payments for purchases of each raw material.

Raw Material	Day/Period Ordered	Day/Period Received	Quantity Ordered		Amount Due	Period Due
