Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is: The ending balance in Finished Goods Inventory is $1,200

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the cost per chair produced, to do this we will find the total cost and divide by the number of chairs produced:

Units produced  100 chairs

  • Direct materials  $10 per unit  x 100 = $1,000
  • Direct labor  15  per unit  x 100 = $1,500
  • Variable manufacturing overhead 3 per unit x 100 = $300
  • Total fixed manufacturing overhead  $2,000

Total costs are $4,800 / 100 chairs = $48 per chair produced

There are 25 chairs left in finished goods inventory (FGI) = 100 - 75 = 25

The ending balance in FGI is = 25 chairs x $48 per chair = $1,200
