Obaapa Fashions Ltd has budgeted to sell 100,000 pieces of face masks for April 2020. At the end of March 2020, the company had 20,000 pieces of face mask in inventory and would like to have an inventory of 30,000 pieces of face masks at the end of April. Each piece of face mask requires 2 square meters of treated fabric, the primary raw material. Inventory of the treated fabric at the beginning of April is 5,000 square meters. It is expected that each square meter of the treated fabric will cost GHS3. Assuming the sales budget is met, and the desired ending inventory of the face mask is achieved, how many square meters of the treated fabric need to be purchased in April 2020, in order to have an ending inventory of 8,000 square meters of the treated fabric? What will be the cost of purchases for April 2020? (show all workings clearly).
