Descriptive statistics

Inferential statistics

Explanation:

Descriptive statistics describes data and gives us a picture of what the data summary looks like using such things as mean and central tendency measures. Inferential statistics on the other hand aims to make predictions using the data based on data analysis such as collecting sample from population and constructing hypotheses to estimate outcomes for the general population. Example in the question, the first is inferential statistics as we make generalized predictions on batteries using data samples from the population of batteries of a particular type.

The following information is available for Barnes Company for the fiscal year ended December 31: Beginning finished goods invent
weqwewe [10]

Answer:  $57,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Beginning finished goods inventory in units = 0

Units produced = 7,000

Units sold = 5,100

Sales = $663,000

Materials cost = $140,000

Variable conversion cost used = $70,000

Fixed manufacturing cost = $490,000

Indirect operating costs (fixed) = $102,000

Total Variable cost of units produced = Materials cost + Variable conversion cost used

                                                               = $140,000 + $70,000

                                                               = $210,000

Variable\ cost\ per\ unit = \frac{Total\ variable\ cost}{units\ produced}

                                               =\frac{210,000}{7,000}

                                               = $30

Units in ending inventory = Units produced - Units sold

                                          = 7,000 - 5,100

                                          = 1,900

Value of Variable costing ending inventory = Units in ending inventory × Variable cost per unit

                                                                        = 1,900 × $30

                                                                        = $57,000
