Trago Company manufactures a single product and has a JIT policy that ending inventory must equal 10% of the next month's sales. It estimates that May's ending inventory will consist of 30,000 units. June and July sales are estimated to be 300,000 and 310,000 units, respectively. Trago assigns variable overhead at a rate of $3.80 per unit of production. Fixed overhead equals $420,000 per month. Compute the number of units to be produced and use this amount to compute the total budgeted overhead that would appear on the factory overhead budget for the month of June.
