Pasadena Candle Inc. budgeted production of 780,000 candles for the year. Wax is required to produce a candle. Assume 10 ounces of wax is required for each candle. The estimated January 1 wax inventory is 16,800 pounds. The desired December 31 wax inventory is 14,300 pounds. If candle wax costs $1.60 per pound, determine the direct materials purchases budget for the year. (One pound = 16 ounces.) Round all computed answers to the nearest whole dollar. For those boxes in which you must enter subtracted or negative numbers use a minus sign.
