The direct labor is a variable cost. Under absorption costing, the ending inventory for the year would be valued 199500

Explanation:

product per unit = Total cost / number of units produced

= (222384+124752+208824+461040) / 27120

= 1017000 / 27120

product per unit = $ 37.5 per car

Ending inventory = (27120 - 21800) * 37.5

= 5320 * 37.5

Ending inventory = 199500
