Question

A company produces a single product. Variable production costs are $13.20 per unit and variable selling and administrative expenses are $4.20 per unit. Fixed manufacturing overhead totals $48,000 and fixed selling and administration expenses total $52,000. Assuming a beginning inventory of zero, production of 5,200 units and sales of 4,200 units, the dollar value of the ending inventory under variable costing would be:

Answer 1

the ending inventory is $13,200

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the dollar value of the ending inventory under variable costing is shown below:

= Variable production cost per unit × difference in units

= $13.20 per unit × (5,200 units - 4,200 units)

= $13.20 per unit × 1,000 units

= $13,200

hence, the ending inventory is $13,200
