To calculate the ending inventory under full costing, we first need to determine the cost per DVD, including both variable and fixed costs. Variable costs per DVD:- Product royalty fees: $3.30- DVD production: $1.20- Selling and admin costs: $0.80Total variable cost per DVD = $3.30 + $1.20 + $0.80 = $5.30Fixed costs per month:- Production: $128,000- Selling and administration: $130,000Total fixed cost per month = $128,000 + $130,000 = $258,000To find the cost per DVD including fixed costs, we divide the total fixed costs by the number of DVDs produced:Cost per DVD including fixed costs = $258,000 / 160,000 DVDs = $1.6125 per DVDTotal cost per DVD = Variable cost per DVD + Fixed cost per DVD = $5.30 + $1.6125 = $6.9125Ending inventory calculation:- Beginning inventory: 17,000 DVDs- Produced: 160,000 DVDs- Sold: 144,000 DVDsEnding inventory = Beginning inventory + Produced - Sold = 17,000 + 160,000 - 144,000 = 33,000 DVDsTotal cost of ending inventory = Ending inventory * Total cost per DVD = 33,000 DVDs * $6.9125 = $228,112.5However, none of the provided options match this calculation. Given the options, it seems there might have been a mistake in the calculation or in the interpretation of the options. Based on the provided information and typical calculation methods for full costing, the correct calculation would involve determining the cost per unit including both variable and fixed costs and then applying this cost to the ending inventory. If there's an error in the calculation or a misunderstanding of the options, it's important to review the steps and ensure that all components of the cost are correctly accounted for.
