Answer:
$4,634 million
Explanation:
The movement or change in the raw materials balance is as a result of purchases and use. The more the raw materials are used, the more reduced the raw material balance is and the more the purchase, the higher the balance.
Hence the relationship may be stated as
Opening balance + purchases - use = closing balance
$986 million + $4,576 million - amount used = $928 million
Amount used = $986 million + $4,576 million - $928 million
= $4,634 million
Answer:
The amount of raw materials used in the year by 3M Co. is $4634 million
Explanation:
The amount of raw materials used in the year is the opening inventory of raw materials added to purchases of raw materials in the year,minus the closing inventory of raw materials.
In other words, the below shows the computation of raw materials used in the year:
Opening inventory of raw materials $986,000,000
Purchases of raw materials $4,576,000,000
Less closing inventory of raw materials $928,000,000
Raw materials used $4,634,000,000
The proforma used is similar that of costs of goods sold where opening inventory of goods is added to purchases of goods, while closing inventory of finished goods is deducted.
