c. $74,000

Explanation:

Raw Material Ending Inventory = Raw Material Beginning Inventory + Purchases - Cost of material for the year

Raw Material Ending Inventory = Raw Material Beginning Inventory + (Total Purchases - Indirect material purchased) - Cost of material for the year

$25,000 = $27,000 + ($100,000 - $28,000) - Cost of material for the year

$25,000 = $27,000 + 72,000 - Cost of material for the year

$25,000 = $99,000 - Cost of material for the year

Cost of material for the year = $99,000 - $25,000

Cost of material for the year = $74,000
