a. $265,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total cost to be accounted for under the weighted-average method is shown below:

= Ending work in process inventory + cost of units transferred out from the department

= $27,000 + $238,000

= $265,000

For cost reconciliation report, the total cost includes the ending work in process inventory and the transferred units only
