The finished goods inventory for March was 2,000 units. End-of-month finished goods inventory levels are planned to be equal to 15 percent of the next month's planned sales. The planned ending inventory of finished goods for May is:
A. 3,750 units.
B. 2,470 units.
C. 5,640 units.
D. 6,320 units.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 3,750 units.

Explanation:

Since the inventory level is planned in such a way that the ending inventory of finished goods for a specific month is always equal to 15% of the units which will be sold during the next month, therefore, the ending inventory for month of May will be equal to the 15% of units which will be sold in the month of the June and shall be determined as follow:

May Ending inventory=0.15*units to be sold in June

                                    =0.15*25,000

                                    =3,750 units

So based on the above discussion and calculations, the answer is A. 3,750 units.
