Towson Company manufactures book cases, and each requires 28 board feet of lumber. Towson expects that 2,000 and 1,850 book cases will be built in June and July, respectively. Towson keeps lumber on hand at 35% of the next month's production needs. Use this information to determine number board feet of lumber that Towson Company should buy in June. (Round & enter final answers to the nearest whole number.)

Answer 1

Answer :

Number board feet of lumber = 54,530

Explanation :

As per the data given in the question,

Number board feet of lumber to buy in June = Number  of units to be produced + Ending inventory required - Opening inventory  needed

= (2,000 cases × 28 board feet of lumber per case) + (1,850 cases × 35% × 28 board feet to lumber per case) - (2,000 cases × 35% × 28 board feet of lumber per case)

=56,000 board feet + 18,130 board feet - 19,600 board feet

= 54,530 board feet of lumber

We simply applied the above formula
