The correct answer is A: $8,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

During March, the following transactions were recorded by the company:

Raw materials purchased during the month - $27,000

Raw materials used in production - $28,000.

Raw material inventory, ending - $7,500.

Raw materials inventory= beginning inventory (march 1) + purchase - raw materials used in production

7500= beginning inventory (March 1) + 27000 - 28000

8500=beginning inventory (March 1)
