Answer:

A. The amount of fixed overhead deferred in inventories is $60,000

Explanation:

Unit product cost      

                                            Year 1      Year 2  

Direct materials                      $12         $12

Direct labor                              $5        $5  

Variable manufacturing

overhead                                     $5      $5  

Fixed overhead

                                                   $48      $36  

                           ($432,000 ÷ 9,000)   ($432,000 ÷ 12,000)

unit product cost                       $70      $58

Fixed overhead deferred (1,000 × $48)   $48,000  

Fixed overhead released                                             -$48000  

Fixed overhead deferred (3000 × $36)                        $108,000  

Net                                                             $48,000        $60,000

The amount of fixed overhead deferred in inventories is $60,000
