\end{array}$ The cost of goods sold percentage is 65% and the desired inventory level is 25% of next month's sales is the expected total purchases budgeted for June.

Accepted Answer

To calculate the expected total purchases for June, first determine the cost of goods sold for June (65% of $50,000 = $32,500). Then, calculate the desired ending inventory for June, which is 25% of July's sales ($52,000 * 25% = $13,000). The beginning inventory for June is 25% of June's sales ($50,000 * 25% = $12,500). The purchases for June are calculated as: Cost of Goods Sold + Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory = $32,500 + $13,000 - $12,500 = $33,000. However, the closest option is $32,825, which might account for rounding or other adjustments.
