Answer 1

$6,200

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the total cost assigned to the ending work in process inventory is shown below:

= Units completed of materials × units material cost + unit conversion cost × completion percentage × units completed of material

= $2.50 × 2,000 units + $1.50 × 2,000 units × 40%

= $5,000 + $1,200

= $6,200

The 2,000 units is come from

= 5,000 units + 3,000 units - 6,000 units

= 2,000 units
