c. $70,500

Explanation:

The computation of the total work in process account is shown below:

For Job 400

= Beginning balance + direct material + direct labor cost + overhead cost

= $23,000 + $6,000 + $4,000 + $2,000

= $35,000

The overhead = $4,000 * 50% = $2,000

For Job 402

= Beginning balance + direct material + direct labor cost + overhead cost

= $6,000 + $10,000 + $13,000 + $6,500

= $35,500

The overhead = $13,000 * 50% = $6,500

Now the total work in progress would be

= $35,000 + $35,500

= $70,500
