    Purchases of Raw Material = 63200 Pounds

    so correct option is (A) 63,200 pounds

    Explanation:

    solution

    first we find Raw material that is required for production for 3rd quarter so

    Raw Material Required for production = Production in units * Raw material per unit required ... 1

    put here value

    Raw Material Required for production = 16000 * 4

    Raw Material Required for production = 64000

    and

    now Beginning Inventory of Raw material for 3rd quarter so we know that Ending inventory of 2nd quarter become beginning inventory of 3rd quarter so

    Ending Inventory of 2nd quarter = 3rd Quarter Production * 10%

    Ending Inventory of 2nd quarter = (16000 * 4) * 10%

    Ending Inventory of 2nd quarter = 6,400

    so now we get Ending Inventory of 3rd Quarter Ending Inventory of 3rd quarter = 4th Quarter Production * 10%

    Ending Inventory of 3rd quarter = (14000 * 4) * 10%

    Ending Inventory of 3rd quarter = 5,600

    so here we get Purchases of Raw Material that is

    Purchases of Raw Material = Raw Material Required for production + Ending Inventory of 3rd quarter - Beginning Inventory of 3rd quarter ... 2

    put here value

    Purchases of Raw Material = 64000 + 5600 - 6400

    Purchases of Raw Material = 63200 Pounds

    so correct option is (A) 63,200 pounds
