The estimated January 1, 20Y4, wax inventory is 2,500 pounds. The desired December 31, 20Y4, wax inventory is 2,100 pounds.

    Total budgeted purchase cost = $150,470

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Production = 74,200

    Wax reqired = 0.5 pounds per unit.

    January, 1: 2,500 pounds.

    December, 31: 2,100 pounds.

    Candle wax costs $4.10 per pound, determine the direct material

    To determine the direct material purchases budget, we need to use the following formula:

    Purchases = sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

    First, we will determine the amount of wax to be purchased:

    Wax budgeted purchase (in pounds)

    Production = (74,200*0.5) = 37,100

    Desired ending inventory = 2,100

    Beginning inventory = (2,500)

    Total = 36,700 pounds

    Total budgeted purchase cost = 36,700*4.1 = $150,470
