Answer)
Calculation of amount to be reported in ending work in process inventory
Ending work in process inventory = (Number of equivalent units of direct materials X cost per equivalent unit for direct material) + (Number of equivalent units of conversion costs X cost per equivalent unit for direct material)
= (33,000 equivalent units X $ 2.90 per equivalent unit) + (33,000 equivalent units X $ 3.45 per equivalent unit)
= $ 95,700 + $ 113,850
= $ 209,550
Therefore amount reported in ending work in process inventory is $ 209,550.
