Respuesta :

Answer:

a. At the point the materials are used in production during either the cutting or shaping Departments.

Explanation:

Materials will be added in the first process always as without materials there is no product.

Then, it may move to another department when there is no use of direct material or some additional materials could be used.

The accounting should represent reality and if a subsequent process required the input of materials should be accounted on that moment.
