Answer:
Total direct material cost= $1,536,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
So 385,000 yards will be needed.
The estimated January 1, 2012, beginning inventory is $124,000.
The desired ending balance is $120,000.
The material costs $4.00 per yard.
To determine the direct material budget, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Direct material budget:
Production= 385,000*4= 1,540,000
Desired ending inventory= 120,000
Beginning inventory= (124,000)
Total direct material cost= $1,536,000
