    1. There are 2,600 units in ending inventory.

    2. Costs per unit under absorption costing $ 123

    3. Value of ending inventory $ 319,800

    Explanation:

    Calculation of Ending inventory units.

    Ending Inventory Units : Opening Units + Units produced - units sold

    300 + 15,000 - 12700 = 2,600 units

    Calculation of per unit cost under absorption costing

    Under absorption costing, direct manufacturing costs as well as indirect factory overheads are considered.

    Per units costs

    Direct Materials $ 20

    Direct Labour $ 60

    Variable overhead $ 13

    Fixed Overhead $ 30

    Total costs per unit $ 123 under absorption costing

    Calculation of ending inventory under absorption costing

    The ending inventory calculated earlier of 2.600 units is multiplied by the per unit costs of $ 123 per unit to get the value of the ending inventory

    $123 * 2600 units = $ 319,800
