Answer:
Direct material purchases in May = 21,670× $10= $216,700
Explanation:
Material purchase budget is determined by adding the closing inventory of material to the material usage budget less the opening inventory.
Material budgets for May will be prepared as follows:
Materials needed for May production = 5,500 × 3 = 16,500
Materials needed for June production = 4,400× 3= 13,200
Closing inventory of raw material in May =60% × June requirement = 60% × 13,200 =7,920
Material purchase budget for February = Usage budget + closing inventory - opening inventory
= 16,500 + 7,920- 2,750=21,670
Direct material purchases in May = 21,670× $10= $216,700
