Your assistant has prepared two budgets: (1) the manufacturing overhead budget shows expected costs to be 125% of direct labor cost, and (2) the direct materials budget for Tarr shows the cost of Tarr purchases to be $300,000 in quarter 1 and $424,500 in quarter 2.
(Note: Do not prepare the manufacturing overhead budget or the direct materials budget for Tarr.)
