What is the budgeted units of production for February?

a.174,000

b.222,000

c.186,000

d.181,000

Respuesta :

The budgeted units of production for January is $236,000

The budgeted units of production for February is $186,000

Explanation:

  • Goods inventory = 55,000
  • Sales are:
  • January - 200,000 units
  • February - 180,000 units
  • March - 210,000 units
  • April - 230,000
  • The Increase in inventory is as follows,
  • =  (180,000×20%)
  • = 36000
  • Sales for January = 200,000
  • Therefore 200,000 + 36000
  • Budgeted production for January = Increase in inventory + Sales for January
  • Budgeted production for January = $36000 + $200000
  • Budgeted production for January = $236,000
  • QUESTION 2
  • Computing  budgeted units of production for February,
  • Increase in inventory = (210,000×20%) - (180,000×20%)
  • = 42000 ₋ 36000
  • = 6000
  • Sales for February = 180,000
  • Budgeted production for January = Increase in inventory + Sales for  February
  • = $6000 + $180000
  • = $186,000
  • The budgeted units of production for February = $186,000
