  1. Raw Materials Purchasing Budget

The inventory on July 1 is 1,344 pounds.

WHAM compound costs $12.00 per pound and Vaughan pays for 80% of its purchases in the month of purchase; the remainder is paid in the following month. $41,184 of WHAM compound was purchased in June and 80% was paid for in June.
