    If 1,500 units remain unsold at the end of the month, the amount of inventory that would be reported on the variable costing balance sheet is $52,500

    Explanation:

    For computing how much amount is recorded in the balance sheet, first we have to calculate the per unit cost.

    The formula to compute the per unit cost is shown below:

    = Total production cost : Number of units

    where,

    Total production cost = Direct labor + Direct material + Variable factory overhead

    = 240,000 + $180,000 + 280,000

    = $700,000

    And, the number of unit is 20,000 units

    Now, put these values on the above equation which is equals to

    = $700,000 : 20,000

    = $35 per unit

    After that, multiply the per unit cost with unsold units

    In mathematically,

    = 1,500 units * $35 per unit

    = $52,500

    Hence, If 1,500 units remain unsold at the end of the month, the amount of inventory that would be reported on the variable costing balance sheet is $52,500
