Required:

$1.$ Determine Empire Polymer Development's production budget $($in gallons$)$ for the three products for $20$x$2.$

$2.$ Determine Empire Polymer Development's conversion cost budget for $20$x$2.$

$3.$ Assuming the $20$x$1$ usage of Islin is $245,000$ gallons, determine the company$$s raw$-$material purchases budget $($in dollars$)$ for Islin for $20$x$2.$

$4-$a$.$ Assume that for $20$x$2$ production, Empire Polymer Development's could replace the raw material Islin with the raw material Philin. The usage of Philin would be the same as the usage of Islin. However, Philin would cost $20$ percent more than Islin and would cut production times on all three products by $10$ percent. Compare cost of using Philin over using Islin.

$4-$b$.$ Which raw material should the management use for the $20$x$2$ production?
