Expert Solution
Step 1

Answer :

Value of ending inventory = ending inventory units * Per unit cost

Ending inventory units = Opening + unit produced -  Unit sold 

= 0 + 26000 - 19000

= 7000

Per unit cost = Direct material +Direct wage +Variable overhead

=40 + 60 +25

= $125 

Value of ending inventory = 7000*$125

Value of ending inventory = $875,000
