Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production = 112,000 units.

Standard quantity = 3 pounds of direct material Z

Beginning inventory = 290,000 pounds

Desired ending inventory = 310,000 pounds

To calculate the purchase required for direct material, we need to use the following formula:

Purchases = production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Purchases = 112,000*3 + 310,000 - 290,000

Purchases = 356,000 pounds
