Answer:

The correct answer is option (b) $5400

Explanation:

Solution

Calculation of the cost of direct material on May 1

Now,

The starting work In process inventory = Direct materials Cost  + Direct labor  Cost + Manufacturing overhead applied on W.I.P

13,500 = Direct materials cost  + 4500 + 3600

Thus,

Direct material cost = 13500 - 4500-3600 = $5400

Note:  Direct labor cost = 300 * 15 = $ 4500

The manufacturing overhead = 300 hour *  $12 = $ 3600

So, only expenses associated to work in process will be considered, hence only direct labor and manufacturing overhead are used to work in process are considered.
