Answer:

Total= 45,684 feet

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production budget:

February= 10,993

March= 8,559

Each chair produced uses 5 board feet of wood.

Management wants an ending inventory level of raw materials to equal 20% of the production needs (in wood) for the next month.

Direct material budget:

Production= 10,993*5= 54,965

Desired ending inventroy= (8,559*5)*0.2= 1,712

Beginning inventory= (10,993*5)*0.2= (10,993)

Total= 45,684 feet
