    Total cost = $20,400

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Flagstaff Company has budgeted production units of 8,100 for July and 8,300 for August.

    The direct materials required per unit is 2 ounces (oz.)

    Safety stock of direct materials = 30% of the units budgeted in the following month.

    Beginning inventory = 4,860 ounces

    materials cost $1.25 per ounce

    To calculate the total cost, first, we need to determine the total amount of direct material to be purchased.

    Direct material required:

    Sales = (8,100*2 ounces) = 16,200

    Ending inventory = (8,300*2) * 0.3 = 4,980 ounces

    Beginning inventory = (4,860)

    Total ounces = 16,320 ounces

    Now, we can calculate the total cost.

    Total cost = 16,320*1.25 = $20,400
