Multiple Choice


$8,000.


$50,000.


$82,000.


$41,000.

Answer 1

Answer:

$41,000.

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of direct materials cost charged to completed jobs is shown below:

= Direct Material cost - charging cost in direct material cost

= $57,000 - $16,000

= $41,000

By subtracting the charging cost that added in the direct material cost from the direct material cost we can find out the direct material cost charged that is computed above.
