Answer:

Ending WIP = 36,750

Explanation:

Beginning WIP  35.000

Cost added:

Materials   265,000

Labor          135,000

Ovehead   300,000

Total           700,000

Cost of goods manufactured (completed)  698,250

We solve using the inventory identity:

beginning + cost added = ending + transferred

Ending Invnetory = Beginning + cost added - transferred

Ending WIP = 35,000 + 700,000 - 698,250

Ending WIP = 36,750
