Answer:

Purchases= 1,854 pounds

Explanation:

To calculate the direct material purchases, we need to use the following formula:

Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= 280*5 + (300*0.4)*5= 2,000 pounds

Desired ending inventory= [(300*0.6)*5* + (240*0.4)*5]*0.3= 414 pounds

beginning inventory= (280*0.4)*5= (560) pounds

Purchases= 1,854 pounds
