Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Units produced= 600

Direct materials $30 per unit

Direct labor $13 per unit

Variable manufacturing overhead $6 per unit

Fixed manufacturing overhead $17,800 per year

Ending inventory= 600 - 400= 200 units

Under absorption costing, the fixed overhead costs get allocated to the product cost. First, we need to calculate the unitary fixed overhead cost:

Unitary fixed overhead= 17,800/600= $29.67

Now, we can determine the total unitary cost:

Unitary cost= direct material + direct labor + total overhead

Unitary cost= 30 + 13 + (6 + 29.67)= $78.67

Ending inventory= 200*78.67= $15,736
