correct option is a. 14

Explanation:

given data

Beginning  inventory = 56 units

Forecast Weekly demand = 20 units

Period 1 orders (P1) = 24 units

Period 2 orders (P2) = 18 units

Period 3 orders (P3) = 15 units

solution

we find here Quantity before receipt of MPS in week 3 is calculated here as

Required Quantity = Beginning inventory - Order fulfill till end of period 2        1

so here  

Orders fulfilled till end period 2 = Period 1  + Period 2  

Orders fulfilled till end period = 24 + 18

Orders fulfilled till end period = 42 units

so from equation 1

required quantity before week 3 is

Required Quantity = 56 - 42

Required Quantity = 14 units

so correct option is a. 14
