Answer:

The cost of direct materials used for the current year is $132,800

Explanation:

For computing the cost of direct material used, we have to use the formula which is shown below:

= Opening balance of raw material inventory + Purchase of raw material - ending balance of raw material inventory

where,

Opening balance of raw material inventory is $8,700

Purchase of raw material is $133,000

And, the ending balance of raw material inventory is $8,900

= $8,700 + $133,000 - $8,900

= $132,800

The remaining information which is given is irrelevant. Therefore, it is ignored.

Hence, the cost of direct materials used for the current year is $132,800
