Multiple Choice
68,450
61,000
70,000
70,400
Answer : 61,000
Opening units in July 1 are 5200
Closing units in July = opening units + production during July - sales in July
= 5,200 + 46,600 - 46,000
= 5,800
Which is equal to 10% of next Month sales
Next Month (August) sales are 58,000
Opening units in August is 5,800 units ( closing units of July)
Closing units in August = opening units + production during August - sales during August
= 5,800 + 58,300 - 58,000
= 6100 units
It is given that 10% of next Month sales in units should be on hand at the end of Each month
August month closing units = 6,100 units
September month sales = 6,100/10%
= 61,000 units
Verification:
Sales in September month = opening units of September + production during September - closing units of September
= 6,100 + 62,650 - 7,750 ( 10%×77,500)
= 61,000 units
