    Option (C) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Ending work in process inventory consists = 10,000 units

    100% complete with respect to materials

    70% complete with respect to labor and overhead

    costs per equivalent unit for material = $4.50

    costs per equivalent unit for labor and overhead = $2.00

    Balance of Ending WIP:

    = Direct Material + Labor and Overhead

    = (10,000 * $4.50) + (10,000 * 70% * $2.00)

    = $45,000 + $14,000

    = $59,000
