Question

Fierce is a product of the Ferris Company. Ferris's sales forecast for Fierce is 1,150 units, and they currently have 186 units on hand. Chester wants to have an extra 10% on hand above their forecasted units in case sales are better than expected, to avoid stocking out. Taking current inventory into account, what will Fierce's Fulfillment After Adjustment have to be in order to have a 10% reserve of units available for sale

Answer 1

1,079 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Fierce company forecast sales = 1150 units

Let this 1150 units be = 100%

Chester wanting to make a surplus of 10% means the total production will be = 110%

So, lets consider 1150 units as 100%

Then, 110% will be = (1150 units/100)*110 = 1265. So, Fierce fulfillment before Adjustment is 1,265 units

Fierce fulfillment after adjustment = 1,265 units - 186 units = 1,079 units

So, Fierce's Fulfillment after adjustment have to be 1,079 units in order to have a 10% reserve of units available for sale.
