    3,850 units

    Explanation:

    The computation of the ending work in progress inventory is shown below:

    = Beginning work in process inventory + units started - transferred units

    = 2,300 units + 10,350 units - 8,800 units

    = 3,850 units

    The other information which is given in the question is not relevant. Hence, it is not considered in the computation part.
