Answer:

10,900 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable formula is the formula for calculating the cost of goods sold, COGS.

COGS = The applicable formula is the formula for calculating the cost of goods sold, COGS.

COGS = Beginning inventory + purchases - closing inventory

In this case, COGS will be 11,000 units: Beginning balance 1100 and ending balance of 1000.

11,000 = 1100 + P -1000

11,000 = 1100-1000 +P

11,000 = 100 + P

P= 11,000 -100

P= 10,900

Productions should be 10,900
