Question: 9-3 three grams of musk oil are required for each…
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 $1.70 per gram. Budgeted production of Mink Caress is given below by quarters for Year 2 and for the first quarter of Year 3:
| Year 2 | Year 3 | ||||
| First | Second | Third | Fourth | First | |
| Budgeted production, in bottles | 64,000 | 94,000 | 154,000 | 104,000 | 74,000 |
Musk oil has become as 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 38,400 grams of musk oil will be on hand to start the first quarter of Year 2.
