Question

The following planned figures have been developed by a buyer for next month: sales = $25,000; reductions = $1,500; BOM stock = $80,000; EOM stock = $88,000; commitments already made for delivery during next month = $5,600. What are planned purchases and OTB for the buyer?

Answer 1

The planned purchases are given as $34,500 while the value of OTB is $28,900

Step-by-step explanation:

The Planned purchases is given as

Planned Sales + Planned Markdowns + Planned End of Month Inventory - Planned Beginning of Month Inventory = Planned Purchases

So here the planned sales are 25000

The planned Reductions are 1500

The End of Month inventory is 88000

The Beginning of Month Inventory is 80000 So the value is given as

25000+1500+88000-80000= Planned Purchases

Planned Purchases =34500

The OTB is given as

OTB=Planned Purchases-Commitment

OTB=34500-5600

OTB=28900
