It will have no impact on the total inventory.

Explanation:

inventory account includes raw materials, finished goods and work in process goods.

inventory = $14,000 (raw materials) + $25,000 (finished goods) + $18,600 (work in process) = $57,600 inventory = $14,000 (raw materials) + $43,600 (finished goods) + $0 (work in process) = $57,600

the total amount doesn't change
