The company is planning to implement a policy where end-of-month raw materials inventory is expected to be 100% of the following month's unit sales, plus 40% of the second following month's sales. The company's purchases are 50% cash and 50% on account. Purchases on account are paid 40% in the month of purchase and 60% in the month following purchase. Purchase cost for the raw materials is 33 cents per unit.
