Answer:

$28,000

Explanation:

The cost per unit, under absorption costing is given by the total producing cost divided by the number of units produced.

Cost = Units x (Direct materials + Direct labor) + Variable and Fixed overhead

[tex]Cost = 10,000*(\$6+\$10) +\$120,000+\$70,000\\Cost = \$350,000[/tex]

The cost per unit is:

[tex]C_u=\frac{\$350,000}{10,000}\\C_u = \$35[/tex]

The value of inventory is given by the remaining units in inventory multiplied by the cost per unit

[tex]I=800*\$35\\I=\$28,000[/tex]

The value of inventory, under absorption costing, is $28,000.
