    Hi there – this is a bit of an unclear question and definitely not a CIMA standard one.

    I assume you are ultimately asking whether distribution costs are added to the absorption product cost – the answer is no.
    Therefore closing stock will be valued at $99 pu assuming no opening stock or any other such adjustments etc

    Hi yes I do agree… we cant be using this as a forum to answer homework questions.

    Presumably you have a textbook with the answer in – if you need me to explain or clarify the answer – then please ask away!

    Also if you can start a new thread for each new question that will help
    Many Thanks
    Cath
