Answer:
Inventory at the end of march 2008 = 150 units
Explanation:
<em>The closing inventory at the end of a particular period will be opening inventory at the beginning of the following period.</em>
<em>Note that the inventory at the end of March 2008 will be the opening inventory at the beginning of April 2008.</em>
<em>The production budgeted for a particular period is the expected units to be produced after adjusting the sales budget figures for opening and closing inventories. </em>
Production = Sales volume + closing inventory - opening inventory
100 = 50 + 200 - X
X = 50 + 200 -100
X = 150 units
Inventory at the end of march 2008 = 150 units
