Solution

To calculate the closing inventory value using absorption costing, we first need to calculate the cost per unit including both variable and fixed costs.

Step 1: Calculate the total manufacturing cost Variable manufacturing cost per unit = 10Fixedmanufacturingcostperunit=Totalfixedmanufacturingcosts/Totalunitsproduced=10 Fixed manufacturing cost per unit = Total fixed manufacturing costs / Total units produced = 6,000 / 1,500 units = 4perunitTotalmanufacturingcostperunit=Variablemanufacturingcostperunit+Fixedmanufacturingcostperunit=4 per unit Total manufacturing cost per unit = Variable manufacturing cost per unit + Fixed manufacturing cost per unit = 10 + 4=4 = 14 per unit

Step 2: Calculate the total cost per unit Variable selling and administrative cost per unit = 3Fixedsellingandadministrativecostperunit=Totalfixedsellingandadministrativecosts/Totalunitssold=3 Fixed selling and administrative cost per unit = Total fixed selling and administrative costs / Total units sold = 2,000 / 1,200 units = 1.67perunitTotalcostperunit=Totalmanufacturingcostperunit+Variablesellingandadministrativecostperunit+Fixedsellingandadministrativecostperunit=1.67 per unit Total cost per unit = Total manufacturing cost per unit + Variable selling and administrative cost per unit + Fixed selling and administrative cost per unit = 14 + 3+3 + 1.67 = $18.67 per unit

Step 3: Calculate the closing inventory value Closing inventory = Total units produced - Total units sold = 1,500 units - 1,200 units = 300 units Closing inventory value = Closing inventory * Total cost per unit = 300 units * 18.67=18.67 = 5,601

So, the closing inventory value using absorption costing is $5,601.
