    Instructions are below.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Beginning inventory = 5,460 pounds of raw materials

    Production:

    January = 4,200 units

    February = 6,000 units

    5 pounds of raw materials are needed for each unit, and the estimated cost per pound is $6.

    Management desires an ending inventory equal to 26% of next month's materials requirements.

    Direct material budget = production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

    Direct material budget (in pounds):

    Production = 4,200*5 = 21,000

    Desired ending inventory = (6,000*5) * 0.26 = 7,800

    Beginning inventory = (5,460)

    Total = 23,340

    Total cost = 23,340*6 = $140,040
