Answer 1

Answer:

$352,000

Explanation:

Alpha Company reported the following figures:

Inventory on July 1 = $75,000

Inventory on July 31 = $43,000

Purchases for the month = $320,000

Cost of Direct material used = Inventory on July 1 + Purchases for the month - Inventory on July 31

Cost of Direct material used = $75,000 + $320,000 - $43,000

Cost of Direct material used = $352,000
