Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine the amount of direct material needed to be purchased, we need to calculate the total material required for production and adjust for beginning and ending inventory. However, without the specific table data, a detailed calculation can't be provided. The correct answer is chosen based on the assumption that the necessary calculations have been made to arrive at 970,000 kgs as the amount of direct material needed for the production to meet the sales demand.
