Meadow Company’s ending finished goods inventory policy is 20% of the following month’s sales. March 1 beginning inventory is projected to be 2,160 units. How many units will be produced in March?

Answer 1

Answer:

Production= 11,300 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales:

March 10,800 units

April 13,300

Meadow Company’s ending finished goods inventory policy is 20% of the following month’s sales.

March 1 beginning inventory is projected to be 2,160 units.

To calculate the production for March, we need to use the following formula:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= 10,800 + (13,300*0.2) - 2,160

Production= 11,300 units
