Beginning Inventory Ending Inventory Raw material* 30,000 40,000 Finished goods 70,000 60,000 * Three pounds of raw material are needed to produce each unit of finished product.

Answer 1

500,000 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information,

Beginning inventory = 70,000 units

Ending inventory = 60,000 units

Sales = 510,000 units

We will make use of the formula below to calculate the production required.

Production = Sales + Desired ending inventory - Beginning inventory

Production = 510,000 + 60,000 - 70,000

Production = 500,000 units
