How many chairs should Cari produce in December

Respuesta :

Answer:

Production December=  15,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Month Unit Sales

October 10,000

November 14,000

December 15,000

Finished goods inventory at the end of November was 4,000 units.

To calculate the production required for December, we need to use the following formula:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production=  15,000 + 16,000*0.25 - 4,000

Production=  15,000
