                                                          January   February

Budgeted units to be produced a     1,700        2,180

Direct material pounds per unit b          3               3

Direct materials needed for

Total direct materials needed             8,160      10,840

(e = c + d)

inventory(pounds) f                               5,200     3,060

Budgeted purchase of direct  

material g = e - f                                     2,960     7,780

Direct material cost per pound h             $15         $15
