A company produces a single product. Variable production costs are $13.0 per unit and variable selling and administrative expenses are $4.0 per unit. Fixed manufacturing overhead totals $46,000 and fixed selling and administration expenses total $50,000. Assuming a beginning inventory of zero, production of 5,000 units and sales of 4,100 units, the dollar value of the ending inventory under variable costing would be:
a. $11,700
b. $19,800
c. $15,300
d. $8,100
