Question

Balmforth Products, Inc. makes and sells a single product called a Bik. It takes three yards of

Material A to make one Bik. Budgeted production of Biks for the next five months is as follows:The desired ending inventory of Material A for the month of March is:
A. 9,300 yards
B. 7,140 yards
C. 3,100 yards
D. 8,400 yards

Answer 1

The desired ending inventory of Material A for the month of March cannot be calculated with the given information because the production numbers for Bikes are missing, which are essential to determine the material requirements.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the desired ending inventory of Material A for the month of March for the production of a product called a Bik. Each Bik requires three yards of Material A. However, the necessary information to calculate the desired ending inventory for March is not provided in the question. To compute this, one would typically multiply the number of Bikes planned for production in the next month (April) by the three yards of Material A needed per Bik. Then, you would add any additional desired ending inventory for March. Without the production figures for the months mentioned in the question, it's not possible to determine the correct amount of ending inventory. Thus, without the crucial budgeted production numbers for the Bikes, an accurate answer cannot be confirmed.
