Ending inventory = $6,765

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Variable production costs are $12.30 per unit

Assuming a beginning inventory of zero, production of 4,300 units, and sales of 3,750 units.

The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead) to calculate production costs.

Units in ending inventory = 550

Ending inventory = 12.3*550 = $6,765
