Absorption Costing

Cost of Goods Manufactured - Absorption Costing

Direct materials                      $1,202,500

Direct labor                               $577,500

Variable factory overhead       $287,500

Fixed factory overhead             $192,500    

Total                                       $2,260,000

Inventory = (25,000 - 19,500) / 25,000 ×   $2,260,000

                = $497,200

Variable Costing

Cost of Goods Manufactured - Variable Costing

Direct materials                      $1,202,500

Direct labor                               $577,500

Variable factory overhead       $287,500    

Total                                       $2,067,500

Inventory = (25,000 - 19,500) / 25,000 ×   $2,067,500

                = $454,850
