The following information is available for barnes company for the fiscal year ended december 31: beginning finished goods inventory in units 0 units produced 7,000 units sold 5,100 sales $ 663,000 materials cost $ 140,000 variable conversion cost used $ 70,000 fixed manufacturing cost $ 490,000 indirect operating costs (fixed) $ 102,000 the variable costing ending inventory is:

 $57,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Beginning finished goods inventory in units = 0

Units produced = 7,000

Units sold = 5,100

Sales = $663,000

Materials cost = $140,000

Variable conversion cost used = $70,000

Fixed manufacturing cost = $490,000

Indirect operating costs (fixed) = $102,000

Total Variable cost of units produced = Materials cost + Variable conversion cost used

                                                               = $140,000 + $70,000

                                                               = $210,000

                                               =

                                               = $30

Units in ending inventory = Units produced - Units sold

                                          = 7,000 - 5,100

                                          = 1,900

Value of Variable costing ending inventory = Units in ending inventory × Variable cost per unit

                                                                        = 1,900 × $30

                                                                        = $57,000

the correct answer option is b. a single paragraph.

explanation:

when you are thinking about paragraph​ topics, you should always choose a subject that can be adequately addressed in a single paragraph.

a paragraph is a piece of writing consisting of a few sentences that deal with a single theme. it has only a single idea that the paragraph revolves around and talks about.

so a paragraph topic must be chosen wisely where a single idea can be communicated in a single paragraph.
