Explanation:

The options are inconsistent with the data given.

Variable costing Method consider all variable costs as the cost of sales and fixed cost as the periodic or operational cost.

Variable Costs

Direct materials                                           $50 per unit

Direct labor                                                  $12 per unit

Variable manufacturing overhead             $6 per unit

Total Variable cost per unit                        $68 per unit

Ending Inventory = Production for the year - Sale in the year = 700 - 600 = 100 units

Value of Ending Inventory = $68 x 100 units = $6,800
