Respuesta :

Answer:

$7,247.05

Explanation:

The computation of the inventory level is shown below:

But before that first we have to find out the fixed cost per unit which is

=  Total fixed manufacturing overhead ÷ production units

= $59,160 ÷ 11,600 units

= $5.1 per unit

Now the inventory level is by taking the difference of net operating income between two methods

= ($127,960 - $91,000) ÷ ($5.1 per unit)

= $7,247.05

Therefore, the inventory is increased by $7,247.05
