    direct cost can be linked directly to a cost unit.

    say
    a table requires 4 kg of wood to produce and cost of 1 kg of wood cost $5
    so the cost of producing 1 table in terms of material should be (4×5)= $20

    in case the store inventory consist of 2 kg wood at a rate of $5/kg
    and 2 kg wood at a rate of $6/kg

    in that case will the table cost in terms of material should be like (2×5)+(2×6)=10+12=$22

    or it will be assumed that material cost per table is constant at $20

    It depends on the wording of the question.

    Usually we use the standard cost (of $5 per kg) throughout, but again it depends on what the question says and what it asks for.
