Final answer:
The dollar amount of Material B used in production during the year is $936,897.01. Therefore, the correct option is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
The dollar amount of Material B used in production during the year can be calculated by multiplying the estimated quantity of units produced by the price per unit of Material B. The quantity of Material B used per unit of finished product is given as 0.67 pounds. Therefore, the dollar amount of Material B used in production is:
