  13. Direct Materials (Purchasing) • This budget is for planning the acquisition of raw materials to support the organization’s production needs identified in the production budget. • Units to be produced • x Raw material required per unit produced • Total raw material needed for production • + Desired ending inventory • = Total raw material needed • - Inventory on hand • = Raw materials to be acquired
