    The correct answer is 160,800 pounds.

    Explanation:

    According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

    Budget production in Jan = 39,000 units

    Raw material per unit = 4 pounds

    So, total raw material needed = 39,000 * 4 pounds = 156,000 pounds

    Beginning inventory = 46,800 pounds

    Ending inventory = (43,000 * 4 pounds) * 30% = 51,600 pounds

    So, Budgeted material needed = Total raw material + Ending inventory - Beginning inventory

    = 156,000 + 51,600 - 46,800

    = 160,800 pounds
