Answer 1

Purchases= 1,085

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

It expects to sell​ 1,100 units of Luxuria in 2019

Beginning inventory:

Luxuria= 125

Ending inventory:

Luxuria= 210 units of Luxuria.

Each Luxuria watch requires one unit of Crimpson and has to be imported at a cost of​ $15. There were 100 units of Crimpson in stock at the end of 2018.

First, we need to determine the number of Luxuria to be produced:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= 1,100 + 210 - 125= 1,185

Now, we can determine the number of Crimpson to be purchased:

Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Purchases= 1,185 + 0 - 100

Purchases= 1,085
