Total value of beginning WIP: 62,205.61

Solution:

First-in, first-out process of paying inventories'

They will apply the additional expense to the conclusion of the existing cost estimate at the initiation of WIP.

Equivalent units conversion cost:

complete units: 11,000

work on beginning WIP inventory: 3,600 x 25% = (900)

work on ending WIP invenotry: 3,000 x 20% = 600

Equivalent Units for Conversion Cost 10,700

Conversion cost per unit: 63,000 labor + 25,000 overhead

Total : 88,000

Cost per equivalent units: 88,000 / 10,700 = 8,22429 = 8.2243

Beginning Inventory:

Beginning Cost: 40,000

Conversion Cost added:

3,600 x 75% x 8.2243 = 22.205,6075

Total value of beginning WIP: 62,205.61
