Answer:

Total purchase= $17,650

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales:

Jan= 57,300

Feb= 60,000

Cost of goods sold ​50% of sales

Required ending inventory ​$10,000 +​ 30% of next​ month's sales Inventory on hand on Jan 1 ​$30,000

The budgeted purchases are calculated based on the sales for the month, the ending inventory, deducting the beginning inventory:

Budgeted purchase:

Sales= (0.5*57,300)= 28,650

Ending inventory= 10,000 + (60,000*0.5)*0.3= 19,000

Beginning inventory= (30,000)

Total= 17,650

Answer: $26,650

Explanation:

TO CALCULATE BUDGETED PURCHASE FOR JANUARY, REQUIRED PARAMETERS ARE;

BUDGETED PURCHASE

January = ​$57,300

February =$60,000

COST OF GOODS SOLD = BEGINNING INVENTORY + PURCHASE BUDGET - ENDING INVENTORY

Cost of goods sold = 50% of required sales

Ending inventory = 30% of next month's sales + $10,000

Beginning inventory = $30,000(inventory on hand on January 1) (inventory carried over from the previous month)

Therefore,

COST OF GOODS SOLD = 0.5 × $57,300 = $28,650

ENDING INVENTORY = (0.3 × $60,000) + $10,000= $28,000

BEGINNING INVENTORY = $30,000

COST OF GOODS SOLD = BEGINNING INVENTORY + PURCHASE BUDGET - ENDING INVENTORY

$28,650 = $30,000 + BUDGETED PURCHASE - $28,000

$28,650+$28,000-$30,000 = BUDGETED PURCHASE

THEREFORE, BUDGETED PURCHASE FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY = $26,650
