Production Budget

sales for the third quarter 166,000

desired ending inventory 5, 100

total skies requirement 171, 100

beginning finished product (6,600)

ski to be produced 164,500

Explanation:

We are asked for the production budget for skis. Any data which doesn't relates to skis is not relevant.

Production Budget

sales for the third quarter 166,000

desired ending inventory 5, 100

total skies requirement 171, 100

beginning finished product (6,600)

ski to be produced 164,500

The sales + desired ending inventory.

This are the total requirement for the third quarter.

We subtract the beginning inventory because, those units are already in our finished goods inventory, so it decrease our production needs.
