Answer 1

Answer:

Inventories:May 30  Raw materials, $2000

Explanation:

Dapper Corporation

Beginning balance $ 8,500

Purchased during the month $42,000

Less Ending Inventory= $ 2000

Used in production $48,500

We add Beginning Bal Raw Material with the purchases and subtract the material used in production to get the Ending inventory of Raw Materials 30 May.

Ending Inventory= Beginning Balance + Purchases - Used Material

Ending Inventory = $ 8,500 + $ 42000- $ 48,500

Ending Inventory=  $ 50,500 - 48,500

Inventories:May 30  Raw materials, $2000
