510,000 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: The data in the questions are merged together and they are first separated before answering the question as follows:

Beginning Inventory Ending Inventory

Raw material 52,000 62,000

Finished goods 92,000 62,000

The explanation to the answer is as follows:

Beginning inventory of finished goods + Units of finished goods manufactured = Ending inventory of finished goods + Units of finished goods sold

Units of finished goods manufactured = Ending inventory of finished goods + Units of finished goods sold - Beginning inventory of finished goods

Therefore, we have:

Units of finished goods manufactured = 62,000 + 540,000 - 92,000 = 510,000
