Answer:

E. 160,000; 167,500

Explanation:

$started \: and \: completed \\ + unfinished \: beginning\\ + ending$

Direct Materials

Started and complete 120,000

We also need to add the ending WIP which count entirely because the materials are added completely.

The beginning WIP has materials added completely already. It required no extra work.

120,000 +40,000 =160,000

Conversion

Started and complete 120,000

ending WIP 40,000 x 1/4 = 10,000

beginning WIP 50,000 X3/4 = 37,500

total 167,500

we add the ending WIP

and the unfinished beginning WIP

it has 1/4 completed so 3/4 are unfinished
