Multiple Choice
$216,000
$0
$180,000
$248,250
Solution:
C. $180,000
Units in ending inventory = Units in beginning inventory+ Units produced -Units sold
= 0+20,000-15,000
= 5,000units
Direct materials ($170,000/20,000) | $8.5 |
Direct labour($110,000/20,000) | $5.5 |
Variable manufacturing overhead(200,000/20,000) | $10 |
Fixed manufacturing over head cost($240,000/20,000) | $12 |
Absorption costing unit product cost(a) | $36 |
Units in ending inventory (b) | 5,000units |
Value of ending inventory under absorption costing(a*b) | $180,000 |
