Answer 1

The answer is $28,900

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given question, we find beginning work in process inventory

Given That:

Beginning inventory of raw material = Direct material requisitioned + Indirect material + ending inventory of raw material – raw material purchased.

Thus,

$44,800 + $8100 + $21,500-$45,500

= $28,900

Therefore, The work process inventory in the beginning is $28,900
