Answer 1

Answer:

Direct materials for use= $183,060

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Materials inventory, January 1 - $33,660

Materials purchases - $148,800

Material transportation-in - $600.

The material transportation is part of the cost of materials. We need to use the following formula:

Direct materials for use= beginning inventory + purchases

Direct materials for use= 33,660 + (148,800 + 600)

Direct materials for use= $183,060
