Finished goods inventory at the end of December is 3,000 units. Target ending finished goods inventory is 30% of the next month's sales.
How many mattresses need to be produced in January 2013?
8,800 mattresses | ||
11,200 mattresses | ||
13,000 mattresses | ||
14,200 mattresses |
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...
