The amount of inventory that would be reported on the absorption costing balance sheet is $70,905

Explanation:

In order to Calculate the amount of inventory under absorption Costing to be reported on the balance sheet, we would have to use the following formula:

amount of inventory under absorption Costing = (Direct materials+Direct labor+Variable factory overhead + Fixed factory overhead) / (Production costs units) * units remain unsold

amount of inventory under absorption Costing = ($761,300/20,400) * 1,900

amount of inventory under absorption Costing = $70,905

The amount of inventory that would be reported on the absorption costing balance sheet is $70,905
