  Budgeted production, in bottles 90,000   120,000   180,000   130,000   100,000  

  

    Musk oil has become so popular as a perfume ingredient that it has become necessary to carry large inventories as a precaution against stock-outs. For this reason, the inventory of musk oil at the end of a quarter must be equal to 20% of the following quarter’s production needs. Some 72,000 grams of musk oil will be on hand to start the first quarter of Year 2.

Required:
Prepare a direct materials budget for musk oil, by quarter and in total, for Year 2. (Round "Unit cost of raw materials" answers to 2 decimal places.)
