During the most recent year, Judson Company had the following data associated with the product it makes:
 Required:
1. How many units are in ending inventory?
$ _______ units
2. Using variable costing, calculate the per-unit product cost.
$
3. What is the value of ending inventory under variable costing?
$
| Units in beginning inventory | 300 | 
| Units produced | 15,000 | 
| Units sold ($300 per unit) | 12,700 | 
| Variable costs per unit: | |
| Direct materials | $20 | 
| Direct labor | $60 | 
| Variable overhead | $12 | 
| Fixed costs: | |
| Fixed overhead per unit produced | $30 | 
| Fixed selling and administrative | $140,000 | 
Solution
1)Ending Units = Beginning Units +Units produced -Units sold
= 300 +15000 - 12700
= 2600 Units
2)Per Unit product cost =Direct material +Direct labor +Variable overhead
= 20+60+12
= $ 92 Per Unit
3)value of ending inventory under variable costing = Per unit cost* Ending units
= 92*2600
= $ 239,200
