    Explanation:

    May production

    sales 2,470

    ending 2,130

    units to be produced 2,400

    Raw material budget

    production needs 2,400

    desired ending inventory

    2,600 x 70% = 1,820

    beginning inventory

    may production x 70%

    2,4000 x 70% = (1,680)

    total raw materials purchase 2,540

    It will puchase raw materials for 2,540 units. Each units require $4 of raw materials.
