The beginning raw materials inventory balance was $3,300.

Explanation:

Ending balance of Raw Material Inventory = Opening balance of raw material inventory + Purchases for the period - Material requisitions

$24,300 = Opening balance of raw material inventory + $60,000 - $39,000

$24,300 = Opening balance of raw material inventory + $21,000

Opening balance of raw material inventory = $24,300 - $21,000

Opening balance of raw material inventory = $3,300

The beginning raw materials inventory balance was $3,300.
