I would like to know how I can setup a production budget for January, February and March. What is the purchases budget in dollars for the month January, February.

I have the following sales estimations:

Month Sales

January 45,000
February 60,000
March 90,000
April 93,000

Currently I have 10,000 units of finished goods in inventory (01/01). The inventory of finished goods should be equal to 1/3 of the sales for the next month.

The materials inventory 01/01 are 5.5 million pounds.

For each unit produced I need 4 hundred pounds of material (1 pound = $10). The inventory levels for materials should be equal to one-fourth of the needs for the next month.

How can I calculate the budgets and what would be the results?
