Okay. I am having difficulty understanding this concept and how to answer the following questions using the following data:

This information pertains to a year's operations
Units sold 1,400
Units produced 1,600
Direct labor $4,200
Direct materials used 3,500
Fixed manufacturing overhead 2,200
Variable manufacturing overhead 300
Selling and administrative expenses (all fixed) 700
Beginning inventories 0
Contribution margin 5,600
Direct-material inventory, end 800

The question is:
1. What is the ending finished-goods inventory cost under absorption costing?
2. Whta is the ending finished-goods inventory cost under variable costing?
