b. 26,500.
c. 40,000.
d. 36,000.
e. 28,000

Answer 1

d. 36,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data,

Units;

February = 30,000

March = 50,000

In order to calculate February production in units, the sales for the month and the required ending inventory will be added together and then deduct the beginning inventory.

February Production in units ;

Sales for the month = 30,000

Ending inventory = [50,000 × 0.3] = 15,000

Beginning inventory = [30,000 × 0.3] = [9,000]

Total = 36,000 units.
