D. The materials ledger shows the quantities and costs of materials remaining at any point in time. It also indicates the dates for all related transactions. With the quantities of materials received in and issued out and the balances indicated clearly, it is possible to ensure that a required level of inventory remains in stock and to place orders at the right time.
Explanation:
a) Raw materials Inventory Issuance:
Quantity issued = 365
Cost of units issued on May 10 = $11,110 ($12,710 - 1,600)
Cost of units issued on May 27 = $3,500 ($5,780 - 2,280)
Total cost of units issued out = $14,610
