Explanation:

To calculate the purchase for each  month, we need to use the following formula:

Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Purchases January:

Production= 130,000

Desired ending inventory= (170,000*0.4)= 68,000

Beginning inventory= (40,000)

Total purchase in units= 158,000

Total purchase cost= 158,000*6= $948,000

Purchases February:

Production= 170,000

Desired ending inventory= (190,000*0.4)= 76,000

Beginning inventory= (68,000)

Total purchase in units= 178,000

Total purchase cost= 178,000*6= $1,068,000

Purchases March:

Production= 190,000

Desired ending inventory= (200,000*0.4)= 80,000

Beginning inventory= (76,000)

Total purchase in units= 194,000

Total purchase cost= 194,000*6= $1,164,000

Purchases April:

Production= 200,000

Desired ending inventory= (180,000*0.4)= 72,000

Beginning inventory= (80,000)

Total purchase in units= 192,000

Total purchase cost= 192,000*6= $1,152,000

Purchases May:

Production= 180,000

Desired ending inventory= (250,000*0.4)= 100,000

Beginning inventory= (72,000)
