    The purchase of raw materials for the month of February which is budgeted is 18,400

    Explanation:

    Computing the purchase of raw materials for the month of February which is budgeted is as:

    Raw material required to meet the production = Needed production in units * Raw materials needed per unit

    where

    Needed production in units 19,000

    Raw materials needed per unit is 1 pound

    Putting the values above:

    = 19,000 * 1

    = 19,000

    Computing total raw materials required as:

    Total raw materials required = Raw material required to meet the production + Desired ending raw material inventory

    where

    Raw material required to meet the production is 19,000

    Desired ending raw material inventory = 16,000 * 1 * 20%

    = 3,200

    So,

    Total raw materials required = 19,000 + 3,200

    = 22,200

    Computing raw material to be purchased is as:

    Raw material to be purchased = Total raw materials required - Beginning raw materials inventory

    where

    Total raw materials required is 22,200

    Beginning raw materials inventory = 19,000 * 1 * 20%

    = 3,800

    So,

    = 22,200 - 3,800

    Raw material to be purchased = 18,400
