The budgeted required production for August is computed as follows:
 11ea7761_17b5_ba79_81a5_dd272f66490a_TB2580_00 *September sales of 10,400 units × 20% = 2,080 units
** August sales of 11,300 units × 20%= 2,260 units
The budgeted raw material purchases for August are computed as follows:
 11ea7761_17b5_ba7a_81a5_9959e6e6bae2_TB2580_00 * 41,920 pounds × 30% = 12,576 pounds.
