Madelyn · Answer 1

correct option is 220,500

Explanation:

given data

sales = 180,000 units

sales increase = 18,000 units each quarter

ending inventory = 25%

solution

we know here that Quarter 2 Sales is

Quarter 2 = 180000 + 18000 = 198000 units

and

Quarter 3 Sales will be

Quarter 3 Sales = 198000 + 18000 = 216000 units

so that Production for Quarter 3 will be here as

Production for Quarter 3 = Sales + Closing Inventory - Opening Inventory ... 1

put here value

Production for Quarter 3 = 216000 + 25% of 216000 - 25 % of 198000

Production for Quarter 3 = 216,000 + 54,000 - 49,500

Production for Quarter 3 = $220500

so correct option is 220,500
