Bambino Sporting Goods makes baseball gloves that are very
popular in the spring and early summer season. Units sold are
anticipated as follows:
Monthly Unit Sales | ||
March | 3,350 | |
April | 7,350 | |
May | 11,700 | |
June | 9,700 | |
32,100 | Total units sold | |
If seasonal production is used, it is assumed that inventory will directly match sales for each month and there will be no inventory buildup.
The production manager thinks the preceding
assumption is too optimistic and decides to go with level
production to avoid being out of merchandise. He will produce the
32,100 units over four months at a level of 8,025 per
month.
a. What is the ending inventory at the end of each month? Compare the unit sales to the units produced and keep a running total.
