He following information is available for barnes company for the fiscal year ended december 31: beginning finished goods inventory in units 0 units produced 7,200 units sold 5,200 sales $ 676,000 materials cost $ 144,000 variable conversion cost used $ 72,000 fixed manufacturing cost $ 540,000 indirect operating costs (fixed) $ 104,000 the absorption costing ending inventory is: multiple choice $198,000 $214,000 $210,000 $182,000

$210,000

Explanation:

For computing ending inventory under absorption costing, we need to first find out the units of ending inventory, and then do the proportion to each cost.

The units of ending inventory = Units produced - units sold

                                                 = 7,200 units - 5,200 units

                                                 = 2,000 units

Now,

The material cost = Material cost × (ending inventory units ÷ units produced)

                            = $144,000 × (2,000 ÷ 7,200)

                            = $40,000

The Variable conversion cost = Variable conversion cost × (ending inventory units ÷ units produced)

                                                 = $72,000 × (2,000 ÷ 7,200)

                                                 = $20,000

The Fixed manufacturing cost = Fixed manufacturing cost × (ending inventory units ÷ units produced)

                                                 = $540,000 × (2,000 ÷ 7,200)

                                                 = $150,000

So, the ending inventory equals to

= Material cost + Variable conversion cost + Fixed manufacturing cost

= $40,000 + $20,000 + $150,000

= $210,000

month 1 start amount =$3287.90 interest=(3287.90x0.0145/12)3.97 total to pay=$3291.81 paid =$1200 balance =$2,091.87

month 2 starting amount= $2,091.87 interest =$25.28 total to pay =$2117.15 paid =$1200 balance $917.15

month 3 starting amount =$917.15 interest =$11.08 total to pay =$928.23 paid =$928.23 balance =$0 total to pay 1200+1200+928.23 = $3328.23 it will take 3 months to pay a total of $3328.23
