Three grams of musk oil are required for each bottle of Mink Caress, a very popular perfume made by a small company in western Siberia. The cost of the musk oil is $2.20 per gram. Budgeted production of Mink Caress is given below by quarters for Year 2 and for the first quarter of Year 3:

Budget Production, in bottles

Year 2:

First 72,000

Second 102,000

Third 162,000

Fourth: 112,000

Year 3:

First 82,000

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 43,200 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.
