The correct answer is B: $46,400

Explanation:

The difference between absorption and variable costing is that the first one includes fixed manufacturing overhead in the manufacturing cost.

Giving the following information:

Absorption costing:

Direct materials = 30,000

Direct labor = 38,000

Variable factory overhead = 8,000

Fixed factory overhead = 40,000

Total = $116,000

Unitary cost = 116000/10000 = $11.6

Ending finished inventory = 4000*11.6 = $46,400
