Material purchases are defined as which formula?

• A. Opening Balance Of Materials Plus Purchases
• B. Sales X Material Cost Per Unit
• C. Production Units Times Material Used Per Unit
• D. Wastage Of Materials During Production

Answer: (C)

Material purchases reflect the amount of material needed to support production. If you know how many units you will produce and how much material is required per unit, multiplying these gives the total material required for the production plan. In a simple planning context (or when starting from zero stock), that quantity is what you would purchase. The other ideas mix in stock levels, revenue factors, or wastage, which are not the direct way to define the amount of material to buy for production.
