Calculation of Direct Material Budget for the month of July:
Budgeted production (Units) for July 5,000
Material required per unit (pounds) 3
Material requirement for July (pounds) = (5000 units * 3 pounds) 15,000
Add: Ending material inventory (5300 units * 3 pounds* 30%) 4,770
Less: Beginning material inventory 4,500
Direct Material Purchase (Pounds) (15000+4770-4500) = 15,270
Cost per pound of Metrial ($) $6.00
Direct Material Purchase ($) (15270 pounds * $6) = $91,620
