Answer:

see below

Explanation:

Opportunity costs represent the sacrificed benefits in a decision. when choosing between alternatives, people can only enjoy the benefits from the chosen option. The advantages from the other alternatives not selected are foregone. The missed benefits from the options not selected are the opportunity costs.

Awarding employees with a pay increase will cost the private limited company money. The company could have spent that money in different other ways. For example, instead of awarding a pay increase, the company could have invested in new modern machinery, invested in shares of another company, or opened another branch. Assuming buying shares was the next best alternative to awarding pay rise, the missed dividends, and capital gains from shares not bought is the opportunity cost.

Answer:

24,000 units

Explanation:

Given:

Budgeted sales for January = 30,000

Budgeted sales for February = 20,000

Opening inventory in January = 7,500

Desired ending inventory = 20% of sales in February

= 0.2 × 20,000

= 4,000 units

Units required in January = 30,000 + 4,000

= 34,000 units

Units to be produced in January = 34,000 - opening inventory

= 34,000 - 7,500

= 26,500 units

Budgeted sales for February = 20,000

Budgeted sales for March = 40,000

Opening inventory in February is closing inventory of January = 4,000

Desired ending inventory = 20% of sales in March

= 0.2 × 40,000

= 8,000 units

Units required in February = 20,000 + 8,000

= 28,000 units

Units to be produced in February = 28,000 - opening inventory

= 28,000 - 4,000

= 24,000 units
