OPTION (d) is correct:i.e Solution=$ 13,80,000
COMPUTATION OF DIRECT MATERIALS USED:
Direct Material Used:
Raw Material Inventory(Jan 1)---------$ 20,000
Add: Purchases of Raw Materials-------$14,00,000
Raw Materials available for use---------$ 14,20,000
Less: Raw Materials Inventory(Dec 31)$ 40,000
Raw Material Used/Direct material used $13,80,000
Alternative method for calculation of Direct Material Used:
Direct Material used=Opening stock of Raw material+ Purchaseof Raw Material-Closing stock of Raw Material
= $ 20,000 +$ 14,00,000-$40,000
=$ 13,80,000
