Answer:

Job 877 878 879 880

Beginning 18,640

Materials 14,460 6,000 3,500 1,800

Labor 14,800 8,500 1,750 2,150

Overhead 11,840 6,800 1,400 1,720

Total 59,740 21,300 6,650 5,670

WIP 21300 + 6650 + 5670 = 33,620

Job 877 59,740 x (1 + 50%) = 89610

as job 877 is complete it will be removed from WIP leaving only the other three jobs.

the markup is 50% of the cost so we simply multiply cost by 1.5
