    Purchase of raw material budget for first quarter = $320,000

    Explanation:

    Given;

    Usage budget = $60,000

    Opening inventory = $16,000

    Rate = 40%

    Purchase of raw material budget for first quarter = $50,000

    To calculate the purchase of raw material budget, we use this method

    Purchase of raw material budget = usage budget + closing inventory - opening inventory

    But we first need to find the raw material closing inventory as;

    Closing inventory for raw material = rate * Raw usage budget for second quarter

    Closing inventory for raw material = 40/100% * $50,000

    Closing inventory for raw material = $20,000

    Purchase of raw material budget for first quarter = $60,000 + $20,000 - $16,000

    Purchase of raw material budget for first quarter = 64,000 units

    Purchase of raw material budget for first quarter = 64,000 units * $5/unit

    Purchase of raw material budget for first quarter = $320,000
