    Answer: The correct answer is "B. $2,160."

    Explanation: First we must calculate the total costs

    Total cost = Goods in process inventory + Direct materials + Direct labor + Overhead.

    Total cost = $5400 + $21600 + $16200 + $10800 = $ 54000.

    Then the total transferred out =

    Total transferred out = Total cost - units in the final inventory of goods in process.

    Total transferred out = $54000 - $4590 = $49410.

    Now we must know the beginning goods in process transferred out =

    BGIP Transfered = Total transfered out - units started and completed.

    BGIP Transfered = $49410 - $41850 = $7560

    And finally we calculate the cost to complete the begining goods in process inventory which is =

    Cost to complete BGIP = BGIP transfered out - Goods in Process Inventory Balance.

    Cost to complete BGIP = $7560 - $5400 = $2160
