However, on June 30 the finished goods inventory totalled only 4,000 units. Each unit of product requires three pounds of specialized material. Since the production of this specialized material by Quick's suppliers is sometimes irregular, the company has a policy of maintaining an ending inventory at the end of each month equal to 30% of the next month's production needs. This requirement had been met on July 1 of the current year. Required: Prepare a budget showing the quantity of material to be purchased each month for July, August and September and in total for the quarter. (3 marks for July, 3 marks for August, 3 marks for September and 1 mark for total)
