EA2.

LO 7.2How many units are in beginning inventory if 32,000 units are budgeted for sales, 35,000 units are produced, and the desired ending inventory is 9,000 units?

Answer 1

6,000 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The beginning inventory units are calculated below

We know

Number of units produced = Budgeted units sold + ending inventory units - beginning inventory units

35,000 units = 32,000 units + 9,000 units - beginning inventory units

35,000 units = 41,000 units - beginning inventory units

So, the beginning inventory units would be

= 41,000 units - 35,000 units

= 6,000 units

Answer 2

6,000 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The beginning inventory units are calculated below

We know

Number of units produced = Budgeted units sold + ending inventory units - beginning inventory units

35,000 units = 32,000 units + 9,000 units - beginning inventory units

35,000 units = 41,000 units - beginning inventory units

So, the beginning inventory units would be

= 41,000 units - 35,000 units

= 6,000 units
