Answer 1

Answer:

$73,000

Explanation:

The computation of the direct material cost is shown below:

As we know that

Direct material cost is

= Opening balance of raw material + purchase made - ending balance of raw material

= $37,000 + $71,000 - $35,000

= $73,000

We simply applied the above formula

Hence, the correct option is third i.e. $73,000
