Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The cost of raw materials purchased can be calculated using the formula: Cost of Raw Materials Purchased = Direct Materials Used + Ending Raw Materials Inventory - Beginning Raw Materials Inventory. Plugging in the given values: $310,000 + $80,000 - $64,000 = $326,000.
