Homework Answers

Answer #1
Answer = 11,200 mattresses

Calculation:

January month's beginning Finished goods = 3,000 units (December month's ending inventory)

January month's ending Finished goods = 30% of the February month's sale

January month's ending finished goods = 30% * 14,000 units = 4,200 units

Number of mattresses produced in January 2013

Particulars Units
Sales 10,000
Less Beginning finished goods 3,000
Add: Ending finished goods 4,200
Number of mattresses produced in January 2013 11,200

All the best...
