Answer:

(D) $ 4,950

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below

As We know that

Ending work in process inventory = Opening work in process inventory + total manufacturing cost - cost of goods manufactured

where,

Total manufacturing cost = Direct materials used + direct labor cost + manufacturing overhead cost

= $10,000 + $25,800 + $19,200

= $55,000

So, the opening work in process inventory would be

$11,200 = Opening work in process + $55,000 - $48,750

So, the opening work in process is

= $4,950
