Answer:

Direct material used= $183,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct Materials Purchased 171,000

Direct Materials Inventory, Beginning 18,000

Direct Materials Inventory, Ending 6,000

To calculate the direct material used, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory

Direct material used= 18,000 + 171,000 - 6,000

Direct material used= $183,000

Prove:

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

cost of goods manufactured= 30,000 + 183,000 + 55,000 + 112,000 - 40,000

cost of goods manufactured= $340,000
