Question

An October sales forecast projects that 7,000 units are going to be sold at a price of $11.50 per unit. The desired ending inventory in units is 15% higher than the beginning inventory of 1,000 units. Total October sales are anticipated to be a.$69,000 b.$80,500 c.$92,000 d.$70,000

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is:

$80,500 (b.)

Explanation:

First of all, not that total anticipated October sales is the same thing as projected October sales. Therefore, this sale is calculated as follows:

Projected sales = 7,000

unit price = $11.50 per unit

Therefore

Price for 7,000 units = 11.5 × 7,000 = $80,500
