Answer 1

ending inventory= $3,300

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Raw materials (all direct materials):

Beginning balance $9,700

Purchased during the month $25,000

Used in production $31,400

To calculate the ending balance for Direct materials, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory

31,400= 9,700 + 25,000 - ending inventory

ending inventory= 3,300
