Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the cost of the finished goods inventory reported is as follows:

Absorption costing is

= ($30 + $18 + $22 + $14) × 21,500 units

= $1,806,000

And,

Variable costing is

= ($30 + $18 + 14) × 21,500

= $1,333,000

In this way the cost of the finished goods inventory should be determined
