Answer 1

Answer:

A) Raw materials used

B) Raw materials beginning inventory

C) Raw materials purchases

Explanation:

When we are calculating the cost of goods sold, we must calculate total direct   materials used + total direct labor + overhead overhead costs applied.

To calculate how much direct (raw and intermediate) materials are used, we start with our beginning inventory of (raw and intermediate) materials + purchases of (raw and intermediate) materials - ending inventory of raw materials - indirect materials used.

Some industries only calculate raw materials used, but others might include intermediate components in the equation.
