Corporation plans to sell 26,000 units during August. If the company has 9,500 units on hand at the start of the month, and plans to have 10,500 units on hand at the end of the month, how many units must be produced during the month

Production = 27000 units

Explanation:

The number of units that must be produced during the month should be enough to meet the selling requirement for the month plus the desired level of ending inventory. Any starting of beginning inventory at the start of the month will reduce the number of units to be produced. Thus, the formula to calculate production for the month is,

Sales = Opening inventory + Production - Closing Inventory

26000 = 9500  +  Production  -  10500

26000 + 10500 - 9500 = Production

Production = 27000 units

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
