b.
To determine beginning raw materials inventory, start with the materials used computation and work backwards:

$ 2,700
Plus: Purchases of direct materials
9,500
Available for use
12,200
Less: Ending raw materials inventory
(3,600)
Direct materials used
$ 8,600
c.
To determine ending finished goods inventory, start by computing the cost of goods manufactured:
Beginning work in process inventory
$ 0
Plus: Manufacturing costs incurred
Direct materials used
$8,600
Direct labor
3,400
Manufacturing overhead

18,100
Total manufacturing costs to account for
18,100
Less: Ending work in process inventory
(1,100)
Cost of goods manufactured

Now use the cost of goods sold computation to determine ending finished goods inventory:
Beginning finished goods inventory
$ 4,500
Plus: Cost of goods manufactured (from above)
17,000
Cost of goods available for sale
21,500
Less: Ending finished goods inventory

The average product cost decreases as production volume
increases because the company is spreading its fixed costs over
5 million more units. The company will be operating more
efficiently, so the average cost of making each unit decreases.
