Question: Direct Materials and Direct Labor Budgets Willison Company produces stuffed toy animals; one of these is Betty Rabbit. Each rabbit takes 0.2 yards of fabric and six ounces of polyfiberfill. Fabric costs $3.50 per yard, and polyfiberfill is $0.05 per ounce. Willison has budgeted production of stuffed rabbits for the next four months as follows:

                          Units

October              20,000

November           40,000

December           25,000

January              30,000

Inventory policy requires that sufficient fabric be in ending monthly inventory to satisfy 15 percent of the following month's production needs and sufficient poly fiberfill be in inventory to satisfy 30 percent of the following month's production needs. Inventory of fabric and poly fiberfill at the beginning of October equals exactly the amount needed to satisfy the inventory policy. Each rabbit produced requires (on average) 0.10 direct labor per hour. The average cost of direct labor is $15.50 per hour.
