Work in process or work in progress is the sum of all manufacturing costs put in to the production process for partially completed products.
Expenses for uncompleted Job 407 = Raw material + Labor + Overhead
= $ 9,000 + $ 5,200 + $ 10,000 + ($ 5.20 x 3,900)
= $ 9,000 + $ 5,200 + $ 10,000 + $ 20,280
= $ 44,480
Work-in-Process Inventory is $ 44,480
Hence option “2nd $ 44,480” is correct answer.
