    Material Purchase Budget:

    Material A: $1,170,000

    Material B: $702,000

    Explanation:

    Material purchase budget = Material usage budget * standard price

    Material usage budget = Production budget * standard usage

    Production budget = sales + closing inventory - opening inventory

    Production budget = 76,000 + 10,500 - 8,500 = 78,000

    Material purchase budget = Material usage budget * standard price

    Material Purchase Budget:

    Material A: 3 * 78,000 * $5 = $1,170,000

    Material B: 0.5 * 78,000 * $18 = $702,000
