Costs are stable over the three months. What is the April ending inventory for Lorillard Corporation using the variable costing method

April ending inventory cost= $121,875

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Unit production cost       Absorption cost       Variable cost

Direct material                     $15                              $15

Direct labor                            10                                10  

Variable factory overhead    7.5                              7.5  

Fixed factory overhead          5

Total cost                               $37.5                       $32.5  

Finished goods inventory = 12,500 - 8,750 = 3,750

Finished goods inventory cost using absorption costing = 3,750 × $37.50

= $140,625

Finished goods inventory cost using variable costing  = 3,750 × $32.50

= $121,875

i'm pretty sure the answer is 60.

the third answer is correct.
