Answer 1

Answer: $18,280

Explanation:

Ending inventory for fabricating department = Beginning Work in Process + Direct materials + Direct labor + Factory overhead - Inventory transferred out of department

= 11,600 + 77,600 + 25,600 + (80% * 25,600) - 117,000

= 11,600 + 77,600 + 25,600 + 20,480 - 117,000

= $18,280
