    The amount of direct materials charged to Job No. 5 is $5,200.

    Explanation:

    Work in process, April 30 = Balance + Direct material + Direct labor + Factory overhead - Cost of finished goods

    = $4,000 + 24,000 + 16,000 + 12,800 - 48,000

    = $8,800

    Job No 5 = Work in process, April 30 = $8,800

    Job No 5 = Direct material + Direct labor + Factory overhead

    $8,800 = Direct material + $2,000 + $1,600 ($2,000 * 80%)

    Direct material = $8,800 - $2,000 - $1,600

    = $5,200

    Therefore, The amount of direct materials charged to Job No. 5 is $5,200.
