Answer: The correct answer is "B. current costs plus cost of beginning Work-in-Process Inventory".

Explanation: The weighted average method of process costing takes into account the costs of the initial inventory since this method calculates the unit cost of the units by means of the number of units and the total cost of them. Therefore the weighted average will drag the costs of the initial inventory.
