Answer:
$378,000
Explanation:
The absorption costing operating income is shown below:-
Total manufacturing cost = Material cost + Variable conversion cost + Fixed manufacturing cost
= $172,000 + $86,000 + $946,000
= $1,204,000
Unit product cost = Total manufacturing cost รท Units produced
= $1,204,000 รท 8,600
= $140
Ending inventory in units = Produced - Sales
= 8,600 - 5,900
= 2,700
Ending inventory under absorption costing = Ending inventory in units ร Unit product cost
= 2,700 ร $140
= $378,000
