Answer:
C) The ending inventory under variable costing will be $900 lower than the ending inventory under absorption costing
Explanation:
Silver Corporation
Given Data
Variable production costs $7,500
Fixed manufacturing overhead costs $4,500
Units produced 3,000
Units sold 2,400
Lets analyze these statements
A) Under variable costing, the units in the ending inventory will be costed at $4.00 each.
Wrong
Variable Cost per unit = Variable production costs/Units produced = $7,500/3,000= $ 2.5
The Fixed costs will be treated as period costs and ending inventory will be evaluated at 600* $ 2.5= $1500
B) The net operating income under absorption costing for the year will be $900 lower than the net operating income under variable costing.
Wrong
Under absorption costing the net operating income  will be higher than net income under variable costing as fixed cost will be treated as product costs not period costs.
C) The ending inventory under variable costing will be $900 lower than the ending inventory under absorption costing
True
This is because in variable costing the fixed costs are treated as period costs rather than product costs.
Absorption unit cost = $ 4
Variable Unit cost= $ 2.5
Difference = $ 1.5
Ending Inventory = 600 * 1.5 = $ 900
so the ending inventory under variable costing will be $900 lower than the ending inventory under absorption costing
D) Under absorption costing, the units in ending inventory will be costed at $2.50 each.
Wrong
Under absorption costing the costs per unit will be = Variable + Fixed/ No of Units= Â $7,500 + $4,500/3,000= 12000/3000= $ 4 per unit.
So ending Inventory will be 600 *$ 4= $ 2400
