Answer 1

Answer:

Inventory at the end of march 2008 = 150 units

Explanation:

The closing inventory at the end of a particular period will be opening inventory at the beginning of the following period.

Note that the inventory at the end of March 2008 will be the opening inventory at the beginning of April 2008.

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.

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
