Three grams of musk oil are required for each bottle of Mink Caress, a very popular perfume made by a small company in western Siberia. The cost of the musk oil is $1.50 per gram. Budgeted production of Mink Caress is given below by quarters for Year 2 and for the first quarter of Year 3.

Budgeted production in bottles

First	second	third	fourth	first (year 3)
60,000	90,000	150,000	100,000	70,000

Musk oil has become so popular as a perfume ingredient that it has become necessary to carry large inventories as a precaution against all stock-outs. For this reason the inventory of musk oil at the end of the quarter must be equal to 20% of the following quarter's production needs. Some 36,000 grams of musk oil will be on hand to start the first quarter of year 2.

Required:

prepare a direct materials budget for musk oil, by quarter and in total, for year 2.
