a caluclate the number of surf boards to be produced in March. b Calculate the number of fiberglass to be produced in March.

Explanation / Answer

No. of surfboards to be produced in march :

Sales for march = opening bal + production-closing bal

therfore production in march = sales -opening bal+closing bal

= 1700-300+420

   =1820

no.of surf boards to be produced in march =1820

No.of fiber glass to be produce in march:

fiber glass required for production of 1820 units of surf boards = 1820*9 pounds

=16380

requied fiber glass units for production of 1820 units=opening bal +production- closing balance

16380 =4400+production-6000

therefore no.of fibreclass pounds to be produced in march =16380-4400+6000

   =17980
