    WIP = 288.3125 tons

    Explanation:

    Work in process is also called goods in process or in process inventory. It is all unfinished goods that are being processed by a company that will eventually be completed and sold.

    Production per hour = average product per day : production hours per day

    Production per hour = 659 : 8 = 82.375 tons

    Work in process = Production per hour * Flow time

    WIP = 82.375 * 3.5 = 288.3125 tons
