Ending work in progress is $29,700

Explanation:

The total manufacturing cost is computed as:

Total manufacturing cost = Direct material used + Direct Labor + Factory overhead

= $74,300 + $55,000 + $95,700

= $ 225,000

The total cost of work in progress is computed as:

Total cost of work in progress = total manufacturing cost + Opening work in process inventory

= $225,000 + $26,500

= $251,500

The ending work in progress is computed as:

Ending work in progress = Total cost of work in progress - Cost of goods manufactured

= $251,500 - $221,800

= $29,700
