Respuesta :

Answer:

used in production = 72,500

Explanation:

we use the Inventory identity to solve for used into production

[tex]$Beginning Inventory + Purchase = Ending Inventory + Used[/tex]

21,500 + 74,000 = 23,000 + used

21,500 + 74,000 - 23,000 =  used

used in production = 72,500

The supplies are irrelevant for this calculation
