Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production in units:

January: 18,200

February= 19,200

March= 17,100

One pound of material is required for each finished unit.

Desired ending inventory= 30% of the following month's production needs.

To calculate the purchases for February, we need to use the following formula:

Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Purchases= 19,200 + (17,100*0.3) - (19,200*0.3)

Purchases= 18,570 pounds
