The inventory of
finished goods at the end of each month must equal 20% of the next
month's sales. However, on June 30 the finished goods inventory
totalled only 4,000 units. Each unit of product requires three pounds of specialized material. Since the production of this specialized material by Quick's suppliers is sometimes irregular, the company has a policy of maintaining an ending inventory at the end of each month equal to 30% of the next month's production needs. This requirement had been met on July 1 of the current year. |
