Answer:

The direct materials cost for May was $50,600

Explanation:

The computation of the direct materials cost is shown below:

= Beginning balance of raw material + purchase during the month - indirect raw material - ending balance of raw material

= $27,000 + $77,000 - $3,400 - $50,000

= $50,600

For computing the actual amount of the direct material we have to deduct the indirect raw material and the ending balance too.
