Sales totaled $1,207,650 for the year, variable selling and administrative expenses totaled $136,950, and fixed selling and administrative expenses totaled $185,562. There was no beginning inventory. Assume that direct labor is a variable cost.
Under absorption costing, the ending inventory for the year would be valued at:
Multiple Choice
$214,628
$248,628
$257,128
$187,128
Under absorption costing, total production cost is used to value the closing stock. For which Selling and administrative expenses will not be used.
Total material, labour and manufacturing overheads are 234234+142974+258570=635778
Fixed manufacturing overheads=395460
Manufacturing cost per unit=635778/30420=20.9
Fixed manufacturing overheads per unit=395460/30420=13
Closing stock=30420-24900=5520
Therefore value of closing stock =5520*(13+20.9)=1,87,128
