Caspion Corporation makes and sells a product called a Miniwarp. One Miniwarp requires 7.5 kilograms of the raw material Jurislon. Budgeted production of Miniwarps for the next five months is as follows:
August 23,100 units
September 21,800 units
October 23,200 units
November 24,400 units
December 24,100 units
The company wants to maintain monthly ending inventories of Juris!on equal to 25% of the following month's production needs. On July 31, this requirement was not met since only 11,300 kilograms of Jurislon were on hand. The cost of Jurision is $23 per kilogram. The company wants to prepare a Direct Materials Purchase Budget for the next five months.
Required:
a. The total cost of Jurislon to be purchased in August is .

Total cost for August= $4,647,725

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

One Miniwarp requires 7.5 kilograms of the raw material Jurislon.

Budgeted production:

August= 23,100 units

September= 21,800 units

The company wants to maintain monthly ending inventories of Juris!on equal to 25% of the following month's production needs.

Beginning inventory in kilograms= 11,300.

The cost of Jurision is $23 per kilogram.

First, we need to determine the total kg needed for production:

Direct material budget (kg):

Sales= 23,000*7.5= 172,500

Desired ending inventory= (21,800*7.5)*0.25= 40,875

Beginning inventory= (11,300)

Total kilograms= 202,075

Total cost for August= 202,075*23= $4,647,725

answer: marginal utility of the fourth brownie is 0.

explanation: marginal utility is the addtional utility gained from the consumption of one more unit of a good. it is given by,

so, marginal utility at the 4th unit will be given by

since, the values are not given here, you can simply find marginal utility at fourth unit by subtracting total utility at 3rd unit from total utility at 4th unit.
