Ivans Company produces stuffed toy animals; one of these is Randy the Reindeer. Each reindeer takes 0.10 yard of fabric and three ounces of polyfiberfill. Fabric costs $3.50 per yard, and polyfiberfill is $0.05 per ounce. Ivans has budgeted production of stuffed reindeer for the next four months as follows:

Units

October .........40,000

November ........80,000

December ........50,000

January .........60,000

Inventory policy requires that sufficient fabric be in ending monthly inventory to satisfy 15 percent of the following month’s production needs and sufficient polyfiberfill be in inventory to satisfy 30 percent of the following month’s production needs. Inventory of fabric and polyfiberfill at the beginning of October equals exactly the amount needed to satisfy the inventory policy. Each reindeer produced requires (on average) 0.2 direct labor hour. The average cost of direct labor is $10.50 per hour.
