The table tops are manufactured by Merriweather, but the table legs are purchased from an outside supplier. The Assembly Department takes a manufactured table top and attaches the four purchased table legs. It takes 20 minutes of labor to assemble a table. The company follows a policy of producing enough tables to ensure that 40% of next month's sales are in the finished goods inventory. Merriweather also purchases sufficient raw materials (legs) to ensure that raw materials (legs) inventory is 60% of the following month's scheduled production needs.
