Answer:
18,720 ounces.
Explanation:
Direct material to be purchased:
= (Budgeted production × Raw material required per unit) + Closing inventory - Opening inventory
= (9,300 × 2 ounces) + (30% × 9,500 × 2) - 5,580
= 18,600 + 5,700 - 5,580
= 18,720 ounces.
Therefore, the total ounces of direct materials to be purchased in July is 18,720 ounces.
