Answer:

Total= 7,400 units

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Quarter Batteries (in units)

1 5,000

2 7,000

3 8,000

4 10,000

Management desires an ending inventory each quarter equal to 40% of the next quarter's sales.

To calculate the production for the second quarter, we need to use the following formula:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

2nd Quarter (in units):

Sales= 7,000

Desired ending inventory= (8,000*0.4)= 3,200

Beginning inventory= (7,000*0.4)= (2,800)

Total= 7,400 units
