a. $16,250
b. $8,500
c. $18,750
d. $13,500

Answer 1

Ending WIP= $13,500

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to calculate the factory overhead:

Factory overhead= 25,000*0.75= $18,750

Now, the ending WIP inventory:

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

68,250 = 11,000 + 27,000 + 25,000 + 18,750 - Ending WIP

Ending WIP= $13,500
