Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The total cost to be accounted for equals the beginning work in process inventory plus the costs added to production, which equals $24,000 + $283,000 = $307,000. The ending work in process inventory is not included in the total cost to be accounted for, as it is part of the work in process inventory for the following period. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
