Answer:
$506,800
Explanation:
The calculation of budgeted materials cost is shown below:-
For computing the budgeted materials cost first we need to find out the total materials for production and materials to be purchased which is here below:-
Total materials for production = Budgeted production × Pounds of raw material per unit
= 35,000 × 4
= 140,000
Materials to be purchased = Total materials for production + Ending raw materials inventory - January 1 inventory
= 140,000 + (39,000 × 4 × 30%) - 42,000
= 140,000 + 46,800 - 42,000
= 186,800 - 42,000
= 144,800
Budgeted materials cost for January = Materials to be purchased × Cost per pound
= 144,800 × $3.50
= $506,800
