Answer: Inventory requisitioned for job = $481500

Explanation:

Given:

Raw materials = $3500

Material on hand = $3000

Material purchased = $475000

Paid (for material purchased) = $412500

Therefore we can compute the inventory requisitioned for job using the following formula:

Inventory requisitioned for job = Material purchased + Opening inventory - Closing inventory

Inventory requisitioned for job = $3500 + $3000 + $475000

Inventory requisitioned for job = $481500
