Answer:

137,000

Explanation:

                                Jan          Feb              March

Units produced     94000                         80000

Raw materials         26,000

Raw materials       213800    239800   295800

Ratio of raw material to a product is 2:1

Ending inventory = 30% of next month production

Represent budgeted production in February by F

239800=2F + (80000*2*30%)-(2F*30%)

239800 = 2F +48000 =0.6F

239800-48000=2F-0.6F

191800=1.4F

F= 191800/1.4 =137000
