    Cost of purchase for first quarter = $766,500

    Explanation:

    Total production of current quarter = 57,000 pairs

    Raw material required for above = 57,000 X 2 kg per pair = 114,000 kg

    Less: Opening inventory of raw material 28,500 kg = 114,000 - 28,500 = 85,500 kg required for quarter 1

    Also provided that closing inventory shall be 25% of total raw material required for next quarter.

    Raw material required in second quarter = 48,000 pairs X 2 kg each = 96,000 kg

    25% of above = 96,000 X 25% = 24,000 kg

    Total raw material to be purchased in current quarter that is first quarter = 85,500 kg + 24,000 kg = 109,500 kg

    Rate not provided assumed to be same as of opening inventory that is $7 per kg, therefore cost of purchase for first quarter = 109,500 kg X $7 = $766,500

    The budgeted material purchase cost for the first quarter would be $626,500

    Explanation:

    In the first quarter, the consumption of material for pair of ski would be equal to,

    = production required x raw materials required per unit

    = 57,000 x 2

    = 114,000 kg

    In the second quarter, the consumption of materials for pair of ski would be equal to,

    = production required x raw materials required per unit

    = 48,000 x 2

    = 96,000 kg

    As per the question company expects to end raw material inventory equal to 25% of the next quarters material needs, so

    = 25% x consumption requirement of second quarter

    = 25% x 96,000

    = 24,000 kg

    given that the beginning inventory for his material is 28,500 and we have taken out closing inventory (24,000 kg), so with this purchase can be taken out

    Consumption = Opening inventory + Purchase - Closing inventory

    94,000 = 28,500 + Purchase - 24,000

    Purchase = 89,500 kg

    Now multiplying this purchase with the cost per kg we will get the budgeted material purchase cost

    = 89,500 x 7

    = $626,500
