Answer 1

The correct answer is "$120,250".

Step-by-step explanation:

= $97,000

Now,

The cost of materials used during the month of February will be:

= Opening Inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory

On putting the estimated values in the above formula, we get

=
`38,500+97,000-15,250`

=
`120,250` ($)
