    Total purchase = $24,750

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Each bucket uses 1/2 pound of plastic.

    Production:

    May = 22,000

    June = 24,000

    The company wants to maintain monthly ending inventories of plastic equal to 25% of the following month's budgeted production needs.

    The cost of plastic is $2.20 per pound.

    Direct material budget:

    Sales for May = (22,000*0.5 pound * $2.2) = $24,200

    Ending inventory = (24,000*0.5 pound * $2.2) * 0.25 = 6,600

    Beginning inventory = (24,200*0.25) = (6,050)

    Total = $24,750
