Actual manufacturing overhead was $86,500, and jobs costing $225,000 were completed during the year.

What is the ending work in process inventory balance?

a. $172,000
b. $ 11,400
c. $ 4,150
d. $ 79,250

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Beginning work in process inventory balance  = $32,000

Direct materials was placed into production = $54,500

Direct labor = $63,400

Actual manufacturing overhead = $86,500

Jobs costing completed during the year = $225,000

Ending work in process inventory balance:

= Beginning work in process inventory balance + Direct materials was placed into production + Direct labor + Actual manufacturing overhead - Jobs costing completed during the year

= $32,000 + $54,500 + $63,400 + $86,500 - $225,000

= $11,400
