Marshall Blair · Answer 1

ending = A. 13,000

Explanation:

We frist construct the production sheet for the period

Beginning WIP 10,000

cost added

materials 76,000

labor 24,000

overhead

50% of labor

50% of 24,000 = 12,000

total cost added 112,000

ending WIP (?)

transferred-out 109,000

from the production sheet we solve for ending WIP

beginning + cost added - ending = transefrred-out

10,000 + 112,000 - ending = 109,000

10,000 + 112,000 - 109,000 = ending

ending = 13,000
