    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    January 10,170

    March 5,190

    February 8,470

    April 4,310

    Each unit requires 5 pounds of raw materials costing $3 per pound. On December 31, 2019, the ending raw materials inventory was 10,170 pounds. Management wants to have a raw materials inventory at the end of the month equal to 20% of next month's production requirements.

    Direct material budget:

    January = (10,170*5) = 50,850 pounds

    Febraury = (8,470*5) = 42,350

    March = (5,190*5) = 25,950

    Ending inventory desired = (4,310*5*0.2) = 4,310

    Beginning inventory = (10,170)

    Total = 113,290 pounds

    Total cost = 113,290*3 = $339,870
