Question

Trago Company manufactures a single product and has a JIT policy that ending inventory must equal 30% of the next month's sales. It estimates that May's ending inventory will consist of 85,500 units. June and July sales are estimated to be 285,000 and 295,000 units, respectively. Compute the number of units to be produced that would appear on the company's production budget for the month of June.

Answer 1

Production June= 288,000 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Desired ending inventory= 30% of next month's sale.

Beginning inventory= 85,500 units

Sales:

June= 285,000 units

July= 295,000 units

To calculate the production required for June, we need to use the following formula:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= 285,000 + (295,000*0.3) - 85,500

Production= 288,000 units
