Meadow Company’s ending finished goods inventory policy is 10% of the following month’s sales. March 1 beginning inventory is projected to be 1,400 units. How many units will be produced in March?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Production= 9,900 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales:

March 10,000 units

April 13,000 units

The desired ending finished goods inventory is 10% of the following month’s sales.

March 1 beginning inventory is projected to be 1,400 units.

To calculate the production for March, we need to use the following formula:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= 10,000 + (13,000*0.1) - 1,400

Production= 9,900 units
