c. 495,400 units
d. 535,400 units

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (a) : 505,400 units

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Budget sale units = 531,000

Ending inventory of finished goods = 66,200

Beginning inventory of finished goods = 91,800

Budgeted production unit = 531,000 + 66200 - 91,800

=  505,400

So, The number of units it would have to manufacture during the year is 505,400 units.

Hence, option (a) is correct answer.
