The answers are:

  • a demand curve
  • a demand schedule

Explanation:

A demand curve is a graph showing the relationship between the price of a product, e.g. TV, on the y axis, and the quantity demanded for that product at a certain price (on the x axis). It models the price-quantity demanded for a particular market.

A demand schedule illustrates the same price-quantity demanded relationship for a product as a demand curve, only that it is presented as a table chart instead of a graphic curve.

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

8,955 units

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales in July = 9,500

Sales in August = 10,200

Sales in September = 6,050

Ending finished goods inventory = 30% of the next month's sale

Budgeted production units for August:

= Sales + Closing inventory - Opening inventory

= Sales + (30% of September sales) - (30% of August sales)

= 10,200 + (0.3 × 6,050) - (0.3 × 10,200)

= 10,200 + 1,815 - $3,060

= 8,955 units
