Question

A company produces a single product. Variable production costs are $12.50 per unit and variable selling and administrative expenses are $3.50 per unit. Fixed manufacturing overhead totals $41,000 and fixed selling and administration expenses total $45,000. Assuming a beginning inventory of zero, production of 4,500 units and sales of 3,850 units, the dollar value of the ending inventory under variable costing would be: Multiple Choice $10,400 $5,850 $8,125 $13,975

Answer 1

Answer:

the third option is correct - $8,125

Explanation:

The calculation of the ending inventory under variable costing is given below:

Ending inventory value (Variable costing) os

= Variable production cost per unit × No. of units

= $12.50 × (4,500 - 3,850)  

= $8,125,

Hence, the ending inventory under variable costing is $8,125

Therefore the third option is correct
