Answer 1

Answer: 22720

Step-by-step explanation:

Sales unit = 811300/19=42700 units

Ending inventory = 8210+35910-42700= 1420 units

Variable cost per unit =512400/42700= 12 per unit

Fixed cost per unit =143640/35910=4 per unit

Total manufacturing cost per unit under absorption costing =12+4 =16 per unit

Ending inventory= 1420 × 16= 22720
