Two pounds of direct material is needed per unit at $1.50 per pound. Ending inventory of direct materials should be 20% of next month’s production needs.
4. e. Most of the labor at the manufacturing facility is indirect, but there is some direct labor incurred. The direct labor hours per unit is 0.03. The direct labor rate per hour is $13 per hour. All direct labor is paid for in the month in which the work is performed. The direct labor total cost for each of the upcoming three months is as follows:

January	$3,510
February	$3,834
March	$3,600

1. f. Monthly manufacturing overhead costs are $6,500 for factory rent, $2,900 for other fixed manufacturing expenses, and $1.40 per unit for variable manufacturing overhead. No depreciation is included in these figures. All expenses are paid in the month in which they are incurred.

It can borrow in increments of $1,000 at the beginning of each month, up to a total outstanding loan balance of $160,000. The interest rate on these loans is 1% per month simple interest (not compounded). The company would pay down on the line of credit balance in increments of $1,000 if it has excess funds at the end of the quarter. The company would also pay the accumulated interest at the end of the quarter on the funds borrowed during the quarter.
