Finished goods inventory on June 30 is 1,200 units. The budgeted production units for July are: Multiple Choice 6,000 units. 3,600 units. 6,175 units. 2,400 units. 4,975 units.

Answer 1

Answer: 4,975 units

Explanation:

Budgeted production in July = Sales forecast for July + Ending inventory for July - Beginning inventory

Beginning inventory = 25% of July sales

= 25% * 4,800

= 1,200 units

Ending inventory = 25% of August sales

= 25% * 5,500

= 1,375 units

Budgeted production is therefore:

= 4,800 + 1,375 - 1,200

= 4,975 units
