Answer:

$1,680,000

Explanation:

The computation of the direct material used is shown below:

Cost of the direct materials used equal to

= Beginning Raw materials inventory balance + raw materials purchases - ending Raw materials inventory balance

= $20,000 + $1,700,000 - $40,000

= $1,680,000

In order to find out the cost of direct material used we simply added the opening raw material balance and deduct the ending raw material balance to the purchase of the raw material so that the correct amount could arrive
