Answer:

696,325 Pounds

Explanation:

The computation of the direct material purchase budget is given below:

Here we assume that

one pound = 16 ounces

Now total wax needed is

= Production of Finished Goods × Pounds of wax needed for production

= 730,000 candles × 11 ÷ 16

= 501,875 pounds

Now

Total direct material purchased  = (Total Wax needed +  Ending Inventory, Jan.31 - opening inventory) × unit price

= (490,625 Pounds + 12,900 pounds - 17,400 pounds) × $1.40 per pound

= 696,325 Pounds
