Answer:

Ending inventory cost for April is equal to $121,875

Explanation:

Based on the information provided 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 calculation results in 12,500 - 8,750 = 3,750

The cost of the finished goods inventory calculated using absorption costing = 3,750 × $37.50

= $140,625

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

= $121,875
