Explanation of Solution

Calculate the cost of work in process of transferred-in for the month of July.

Amount of  ending WIP during July}=(Numberof units at Ending WIP in transferred -in )×(Total cost per equivalent unit of transferred-in) =5,000×$6.2500=$31,250

Calculate the cost of work in process of conversion for the month of July.

Amount of  ending WIP during July}=(Numberof units at Ending WIP in conversion )×(Total cost per equivalent unit of conversion) =2,500×$4.75=$11,875

Therefore, the cost of work in process for the month July is ($31,250+$11,875)$43,125.
