Group of answer choices
6,250 units.
3,750 units.
6,425 units.
2,500 units.
5,175 units.
Computation of budgeted production units for July can be done using the following formula: |
Budgeted finished goods inventory for June + Budgeted production for July - Budgeted units to be sold in July = Budgeted finished goods inventory for July |
=> 1,250 units + Budgeted production for July - 5,000 units = 1,425 units |
=> Budgeted production for July = 5,175 units |
Hence, the last option is the correct answer. |
Note: Budgeted finished goods inventory for July = 25% of August budgeted sales |
=> Budgeted finished goods inventory for July = 25% of 5,700 units = 1,425 units |
