Answer:

$5,200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the above information,

Direct labor = $3,726 / 0.81 = $4,600

But,

Total cost = Direct material + Direct labor + Overhead

Fixing the values, we'll have

$9,800 = Direct materials + $4,600 + $3,726

Direct materials = $9,800 - $4,600

Direct materials = $5,200

Therefore $5,200 raw materials cost was incurred in producing these units.
