Answer: 22720

Explanation:

Sales unit = 811300/19=42700 units

Ending inventory = 8210+35910-42700 = 1420 units

Variable cost per unit = 512400/42700 = 12 per unit

Fixed cost per unit = 143640/35910=4 per unit

Total manufacturing cost per unit under absorption costing = 12+4 = 16 per unit

Ending inventory = 1420 * 16 = 22720
