Answer:
Purchases (yards)= 5,324,000 square yards
Total cost= $692,120
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The number of units= 47,000
Quantity required (unitary)= 115 square yards
Beginning inventory= 324,000 square yards.
Desired ending inventory= 243,000 square yards.
Paper costs $0.13 per square yard.
To calculate the purchase required, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases (yards)= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases (yards)= 47,000*115 + 243,000 - 324,000
Purchases (yards)= 5,324,000 square yards
Now, the total cost:
Total cost= 5,324,000*0.13= $692,120
