d. 37,500

Explanation:

a) Calculation:

Since 5,000 pounds were used at a standard price of $7.50, a debit to the direct materials control account would be $37,500 (5,000 x$7.50).

b) The direct materials control account is a memorandum account where the costs of direct materials are recorded to serve as a check and point of reconciliation with the subsidiary ledger of direct materials account.  This debit shows the standard costs at actual production that is expensed  for the period or during the process.
