Direct Labour                     $ 60

Fixed Overhead                $ 30

Total costs per unit          $ 123 under absorption costing

Calculation of ending inventory under absorption costing

The ending inventory calculated earlier of 2.600 units is multiplied by the per unit costs of $ 123 per unit to get the value of the ending inventory

$123 * 2600 units  = $ 319,800
