    Purchases = $26,550

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Production:

    January = 2,900 units

    February = 3,600 units

    Norton budgets $20 per unit for direct materials.

    Beginning inventory raw materials = $38,650.

    Desired ending inventory direct materials = 10% of the next month's direct materials needed for production.

    To calculate the purchases of direct material, we need to use the following formula:

    Purchases = production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

    Purchases = 2,900*20 + (3,600*0.1) * 20 - 38,650

    Purchases = $26,550
