The total balance in the Work in Process inventory account on August 31 can be calculated by adding the costs of materials and labor and overhead for the equivalent units in process. For materials: 22,000 equivalent units * $5.50 = $121,000. For labor and overhead: 20,150 equivalent units * $5.00 = $100,750. Adding these together gives $121,000 + $100,750 = $221,750.
