e. $8,360.

Explanation:

The started and completed units cost $42,250

Completed and transferred out $ 50,610

The cost of completing the units in the beginning Work in Process inventory

= Completed and transferred out $ 50,610 minus The started and completed units cost $42,250 =

=$ 50,610-$42,250 = $8,360.

The completed units would not require any work in process and the started units only require work in process which is equal to $8,360.
