The total amount in pounds is 19,880.
Given the following data: Production equals 470 boxes, with each tile box requiring 44 pounds of clay mix. Starting inventory is 4,700 pounds, and the desired ending inventory is 3,900 pounds. To find the required direct material purchase, we apply this formula: Purchases = Production + Desired Ending Inventory - Beginning Inventory. The direct material budget (in pounds) is: Production: 470 times 44 equals 20,680; Desired Ending Inventory: 3,900; Beginning Inventory: 4,700. Thus, the total pounds required equal 19,880.
23% decline.
This can be calculated by dividing 1,650,000 by 2,150,000, resulting in 0.7674. By multiplying this figure by 100, we arrive at 76.74%.
Yet, this represents the proportion that 1,650,000 constitutes of 2,150,000. Hence, we need to subtract this number from 100, yielding 23.26, or rounded to 23%.
