Question

During a six month period, a department had planned sales of $75,000 and planned turnover of 2.6. Using the Basic Stock Method, determine the BOM stock for February, if planned sales for February are $10,500.

Answer 1

the BOM stock is $26,846

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the BOM stock for the feb month is shown below:

But before that following calculations need to be done

Average stock is

= net sales ÷ stock turnover

= $75,000 ÷ 2.6

= $28,846

Now the basic stock is

= Average stock - monthly sales

= $28,846 - ($75,000 ÷ 6)

= $16,346

And, finally BOM stock is

= Planned sales + basic stock

= $10,500 + $16,346

= $26,846

hence, the BOM stock is $26,846
