Material usage budget = Production budget ×standard usage

Production budget = sales + closing inventory - opening inventory

  Production budget = 76,000 + 10,500 - 8,500= 78,000

Material purchase budget = Material usage budget × standard price

Material Purchase Budget:

Material A: 3 × 78,000  × $5= $1,170,000

Material B: 0.5 × 78,000 × $18= $702,000
