Answer 1

Answer:

The budgeted production of the units for the month of July are 5,175 units

Explanation:

The budgeted production of the units for the month of July is computed as:

Budgeted production units for July = July units + 25% of August units - Ending inventory of June

where

July units is 5,000 units

August units is 5,700

So, 25% will be:

= 5,700 × 25%

= 1,425

Ending inventory of June is 1,250 units

So, putting the units above:

Budgeted production units for July = 5,000 units + 1,425 units - 1,250 units

Budgeted production units for July = 6,425 units - 1,250 units

Budgeted production units for July = 5,175
