Maximus Martinez · Answer 1

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
