Answer 1

Answer:

a.The ending work in process inventory is $ 146,575

Explanation:

To determine the ending work in process inventory, we need to do the following computations:

No of units in ending inventory                                    22,000 units

Material cost in ending inventory

22,000 units * 100 % (completion) * $ 2.65                     $ 58,300  

Conversion costs in ending inventory  

22,000 units * 75 % (completion) * $ 5.35                       $ 88,275

Total value of Ending work in process inventory         $ 146,575
