    production schedule for July = 815 10-inch skillets

    Explanation:

    price of 10-inch skillet $28

    projected sales 625 units

    costs:

    direct materials $6 direct labor $3 manufacturing overhead $5 sales and administrative expenses $1,000

    beginning inventory 60 units

    ending inventory 40% of August sales

    production during July = (projected sales - beginning inventory) + (40% x projected sales August) = (625 units - 60 units) + (40% x 625 units) = 565 units + 250 units = 815 10-inch skillets
