    Full cost per unit $

    Direct material 9.00

    Direct labour 11.00

    Variable overhead ($75,000/25,000) 3.00

    Fixed overhead ($137,500/25,000) 5.50

    Full cost per unit 28.50

    Finished goods in inventory

    = Production - Sales

    = 25,000 units - 15,000 units

    = 10,000 units

    Cost of finished goods in inventory

    = 10,000 units x $28.50

    = $285,000

    The correct answer is A

    Explanation:

    In this case, there is need to calculate the full cost per unit, which is the aggregate of material cost per unit, direct labour cost per unit, variable overhead cost per unit and fixed overhead cost per unit. Thereafter, we will determine the units of finished goods inventory, which is production minus sales. Finally, we will determine the cost of finished goods in inventory by valuing the finished goods in inventory at the full cost calculated above.
