Answer 1

Answer:

The ending work in process inventory​ balance is $3,120

Explanation:

Ending work in process inventory =

Beginning Work in progress inventory + Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead (applied) – Cost of goods manufactured

Beginning Work in progress inventory =$32,900

Direct materials = $54,700

Direct labor = $64,100​

Manufacturing overhead (applied) = 120% * $64,100 = $76,920

Cost of goods manufactured = $225,500

Ending work in process inventory = $32,900 + $54,700 + $64,100 + $76,920 - $225,500

= $3,120

Therefore, The  ending work in process inventory​ balance is $3,120
