Computation of cost of materials

Units production                                                      3,650         4,200      4,370

Material requirement per unit - 2 pounds            

Total material requirement for production             7,300         8,400      8,740

Closing inventory-50% next month production     4,200         4,370                                                                                                    

Opening inventory-50% of current production     ( 3,650)       (4,200)

Total material requirement for production              7,850        8,570

Cost per pound of direct material  $ 2.80

Total direct material Budget                                 $ 21,980   $ 23,996
