Question

To meet projected annual sales, Bluegill Manufacturers, Inc. needs to produce 75,000 machines for the year. The estimated January 1 inventory is 7,000 units, and the desired December 31 inventory is 12,000 units. What are projected sales units for the year? fill in the blank 1 units

Answer 1

Answer: 70,000 units

Explanation:

You can use the formula for the ending inventory to get this:

Ending inventory = Opening inventory + Production for the year - Projected sales

12,000 = 7,000 + 75,000 - Projected sales

12,000 + Projected sales = 82,000

Projected sales = 82,000 - 12,000

Projected sales = 70,000 units
