Answer 1

Answer:

Total balance in the work-in-process inventory account on September 30th was  $ 121000 + $ 110825= $ 231825

Explanation:

Cost per equivalent unit for material = $ 5.50

Equivalent units of materials = 22,000

Cost of Materials = $ 121,000

Cost per equivalent unit for labor and overhead = $ 5.50

Equivalent units of materials = 20,150

Cost of labor and FOH = $ 110825

Total balance in the work-in-process inventory account on September 30th was = Material + Labor + OH=  $ 121000 + $ 110825= $ 231825
