    I have just looked at CBT number 4
    This one says that the closing inventory is made up of 2,000 units (in the production budget)
    and that closing finished goods inventory will be valued at the production cost per unit.
    In this question the value would be 2000 x the production cost per unit

    Is this the question you found a problem with?

    Hi Vikikell,

    Firstly we know that the closing inventory will be valued at the budgeting production cost per unit so we will be
    focusing on the production aspect for this question.

    Our total cost of production is 118950 which is worked out in the operational budget, in the production budget
    our production was 39000 so to work out the production cost per unit we do 118950/39000= £3.05.
    In the production budget our closing inventory of finished goods is 4000, so we would need to
    do 4000*3.05= 12200.

    Does this help?

    Good luck for monday :)
