beginning WIP                800

Question: which are the physical units in the beginning work in process inventory?

Explanation:

The beginning WIP and the started and completed untis will be the total transferred units.

We first, solve for the start and completed:

Unit Stated                     25,200

Ending WIP(incomplete)  2,000  

start and complete        23,200

Now, we solve for the WIP:

Transferred units      24,000

start and complete  (23,200)  

beginning WIP                800

correct, but each time you dont pay the price of the penalty can increase.
