Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of direct materials used is $1,970,000.

Explanation:

The cost of direct materials used can be computed using the following equation:

Cost of direct materials used = Raw materials inventory, January 1 + Raw materials purchases - Raw materials inventory, December 31 ............ (1)

Where;

Raw materials inventory, January 1 = $25000

Raw materials inventory, December 31 = $55000

Raw materials purchases = $2000000

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Cost of direct materials used = $25000 + $2000000 - $55000 = $1,970,000

Therefore, the cost of direct materials used is $1,970,000.
