Use the following information to compute the cost of direct materials used for the current year. Assume the raw materials inventory account is used only for direct materials. (Assume no indirect materials.) January 1 December 31

January 1 December 31
Inventories
Raw materials inventory $6,000 7,500
Work in process inventory 12,000 9,000
Finished goods inventory 8,500 5,500
Activity during the current year
Materials purchased $123,500
Direct labor 94,000
Factory overhead 39,000

Answer 1

the direct material used is $122,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the direct material used is shown below:

= Opening raw material inventory + material purchased - ending raw material inventory

= $6,000 + $123,500 - $7,500

= $122,000

Hence, the direct material used is $122,000
