urses/1958651/quizzes/3470873/take C Arvest Central Mort Mail. ame5613epn Question 25 5 pts A company has a sales forecast for the following five months as shown in the table. If they have a beginning inventory of 225 units, what amount should be produced under a level plan in order for them to have an ending inventory of zero units at the end of the five-month period? MonthForecast January arch April May 825 600 650 550 475 595 units per month 575 units per month 580 units per month 585 units per month

Explanation / Answer

Beginning inventory = 225 units

Ending inventory = 0 units

Forecast for January = 825 units

Forecast for February = 600 units

Forecast for March = 650 units

Forecast for April = 550 units

Forecast for May = 475 units

Total units to be sold in the 5 month period = 825 + 600 + 650 + 550 + 475

= 3100

Total number of units that must be produced = Total units to be sold in the 5 month period - Beginning inventory + Ending inventory

= 3100 - 225 + 0

= 2875

Total number of units that must be produced monthly in the 5 month period = 2875 / 5

= 575 units

Hence the correct answer is option B.
