Final Answer :
Cost of beginning work in process inventory + Costs added to production = Cost of ending working in process inventory + Cost of units transferred outCost of beginning work in process inventory + $264,000 = $32,000 + $257,000Cost of beginning work in process inventory = $32,000 + $257,000 − $264,000 = $25,000
Cost of beginning work in process inventory + Costs added to production = Cost of ending working in process inventory + Cost of units transferred outCost of beginning work in process inventory + $264,000 = $32,000 + $257,000Cost of beginning work in process inventory = $32,000 + $257,000 − $264,000 = $25,000
