The beginning balance in the raw materials account was $20,000 and the ending balance was $27,000. Raw materials purchases during the month totaled $63,000. Manufacturing overhead cost incurred during the month was $53,000, of which $3,000 consisted of raw materials classified as indirect materials. The direct materials cost for September was:

Answer 1

Direct material= $51,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning inventory= $20,000

Ending inventory= $27,000.

Raw materials purchases during the month totaled $63,000.

$3,000 consisted of raw materials classified as indirect materials.

First, we need to calculate the total raw material used in production:

Raw material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory

Raw material used= 20,000 + 63,000 - 27,000= 54,000

Now, the direct material used:

Direct material= 54,000 - 3,000= $51,000
