Answer:

c.$1,080,000 for A; $648,000 for B

Step-by-step explanation:

For computing the total direct material purchase first we have to find out the production units which are shown below:

As we know that

Production units = Ending inventory units + sales units - beginning inventory units

= 9,000 units + 75,000 units - 12,000 units

= 72,000 units

Now the total direct material purchase for Material A and Material B is

For Material A

= 72,000 units × 3 lbs × $5 per lb

= $1,080,000

For Material B

= 72,000 units × 0.5 lbs × $18 per lb

= $648,000

Therefore, the third option is correct
