How many units does Arrow expect to produce in September

Answer 1

Answer:

68,000 units

Explanation:

The computation of the number of units that produced in september is given below;

The sales units at September is

= $400,000 ÷ 5

= 80,000 units

And, the october sales units is

= $320,000 ÷ 5

= 64,000 units

So, the production should be

= Ending finished units + sales units - beginning finished units

= (25% of 64,000 units)  + 80,000 units - 28,000 units

= 16,000 units + 80,000 units - 28,000 units

= 68,000 units
