A. $10,682

B. $36,714

C. $20,678

D. $18,966

correct option is D. $18,966

Explanation:

given data

Beginning inventory = 3800 units

during year Units manufactured = 892500

unit sold = 887600 units

Cost of each unit = $2.18

sold each unit = $4.22

solution

we get here first Units available for sale that is

Units available for sale = Beginning inventory + Units manufactured

Units available for sale = 3800 + 892500

Units available for sale = 896300

Beginning inventory, units 3800

and now we get Finished goods inventory that is

Finished goods inventory = Units available for sale - Units sold

Finished goods inventory = 896300 - 887600

Finished goods inventory = 8700

so now Finished goods inventory balance is = Cost of each unit * Finished goods inventory

Finished goods inventory balance is = $2.18 * 8700

Finished goods inventory balance is $18966

so correct option is D. $18,966
