Answer 1

Raw materials are goods that are for processing which will result in finished products which are for sale.  

The raw materials inventory includes the metal of $13,000 and the cloth of $6,000 or a total of $19,000.  The $2,000 cleaning supplies do not fall under the classification of raw materials, instead, this falls under prepaid supplies and later reclassified to supplies expense once consumed.
