The Timbrick Company produces and sells a single product. The production of this product requires 15 liters of direct material for each unit produced. Timbrick has an inventory policy which sets a target ending inventory of finished goods equal to 15% of next months expected unit sales. The target ending inventory for direct materials is 30% of the materials needed for production for next month. The budgeted cost of direct materials is $0.40 per liter. Normally, Timbrick pays the suppliers for 30% of a months purchases in the month of the purchase and they pay the remainder (70%) the next month.
