Thomas Dunlap · Answer 1

d.$38,000

Explanation:

The computation of the inventory amount is shown below:

= (Total cost and expenses amount : number of units produced) * unsold units

= ($380,000 : 10,000 units) * 1,000 units

= $38,000

All other information which is given in the question is not relevant. Hence, ignored it

We simply divide the total cost and expenses amount with the production units and then multiply it by unsold units
