Explanation / Answer

1) unit product cost under absorption costing = 8+4+1.5+4.15 = 17.65 per unit

2) Unit product cost under variable costing = 8+4+1.5 = 13.50 per unit

3) Ending inventory unit = 20000-17200 = 2800 units

4) Ending inventory under absorption costing = 2800*17.65 = 49420

5) Ending inventory under variable costing = 2800*13.50 = 37800
