    Option (a) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Cost of ending inventory includes purchase cost, Insurance cost during transit, Freight in charges and cost of conversion (labor cost).

    Ending balance in Pete Co.'s inventory:

    = Purchase cost + Insurance cost during transit + Freight in + cost of conversion (labor cost)

    = $12,500 + $200 + $350 + $3,200

    = $16,250

    Therefore, the the ending balance in Pete Co.'s inventory is $16,250.
