Mylie · Answer 1

c. $280,000

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of the direct material used is shown below:

= Beginning raw material inventory + Purchase of raw material - ending raw material inventory

= $32,000 + $276,000 - $28,000

= $280,000

Beginning raw material inventory + Purchase of raw material is also called the available raw material for production use

Hence, all other options are incorrect except C. option
