Debits :

Beginning Raw materials                               $ 47,000

Raw materials purchased                            $ 538,000

Totals                                                             $585,000

Credits :

Raw materials requisitioned - production   $ 535,000

Ending Raw materials (Balancing Figure)     $ 50,000
