Question

. An order for 140 units of Product X has been placed. There are currently 20 units of Product X on hand. Each X requires 4 units of Component Z. There are 40 units of Z on hand. What are the net requirements for Z? A. 480 B. 300 C. 440 D. 340 E. 380

Answer 1

Answer: 440unit of Z

Explanation:

From the statement " Each X requires 4 units of Component Z" implies;

X/4=Z or X=4Z

Since there are 40units of Z available, it is equivalent to

40Z= 40×X/4=10X

The net requirement is;

Req= 140unitX - 20unitX - 10unitX

Req= 110unitX

Substituting Z for X, we have;

Req = 110unit × 4Z

Req = 440unit of Z

Goodluck...
