Multiple Choice
$407,300
$429,300
$8,300
Solution:
Total cost to be accounted for = Beginning WIP cost + Cost added during the month
= $13,700 + $443,000 = $456,700
Cost of units completed and transferred out = $421,000
Cost of Ending WIP = Total cost to be accounted for - Cost of units completed and transferred out
= $456700 - $421000 = $35,700
