Answer:
a. $2,124,000
b. $1,652,000
Explanation:
Absorption costing
Product Cost = All Manufacturing Costs
Therefore,
Product Cost = $36 + $ 26 + $ 8 + $ 20
           = $90
Thus, Cost of the finished goods inventory = 23,600 units × $90
                                    = $2,124,000
Variable Costing
Product Cost = Variable Manufacturing Costs
Therefore,
Product Cost = $36 + $ 26 + $ 8
           = $70
Thus, Cost of the finished goods inventory = 23,600 units × $70
                                    = $1,652,000
